Looking for food recommendations and recipes to help. Any recommendations for pain, etc. Just diagnosed. More tests to follow from a specialist (when I can get in).
have you ever researched LOW stomach acid?
Some improve with a strict diet of just meat and vegetables (no carbs, sugars or fruits).
• Dietary linoleic acid may be implicated in ulcerative colitis, according to the results of a nested case–control study within a prospective cohort study (Gut. 2009;Published online July 23).....”Dietary linoleic acid, an n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, is metabolized to arachidonic acid, a component of colonocyte membranes.” ....”Metabolites of arachidonic acid have pro-inflammatory properties and are increased in the mucosa of patients with ulcerative colitis......”the highest intake of the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexanoic acid, which is found in salmon and herring, was associated with a 77% decrease in risk of developing ulcerative colitis.
Probiotics: A mixture of eight probiotic lactic acid bacterial species (VSL#3 @ two sachets BID x 6wks) (VSL Pharmaceuticals, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) reduces sx’s in 80% of pt’s with acute ulcerative colitis refractory to conventional tx (Am J Gastroenterol 2005;100:1539-1546). Synbiotic therapy (PO BID x 1mo) is effective for UC (Gut. 2005;54:242-249) (combining the probiotic Bifidobacterium longum and the prebiotic Synergy 1, a preferential inulinoligofructose growth substrate for the probiotic strain).
Oatmeal, white rice and stay the hell away from Stress!!!
i would suspect the BRAT diet might help
https://www.oregonclinic.com/diets-BRAT
i would also look at getting very high count, quality probiotics, and digestice enzymes
and avoid any unnecessary inflammatory things, including vaccines, as this is regarded as an autoimmune inflammatory disease
also are you sure its not celiac. Id start going gluten free and the other diet recommendations at the link above. go strict if you have symptom relief then add back one food at a time every other week. as long as your symptoms don’t change your good if they do, then that food is permanently out of your diet.
dont have it but often see the words in things I am researching to use for Covid 19. Perhaps due to inflammation.
Green tea is one.
So look into Green Tea EGCG
also pretty sure I saw it when looking at Greek Mountain Tea for Alzheimer’s so you might look at that too.
Easier said than done. Taking care of an elderly parent.
“Probiotics:”
Rectally!
“So look into Green Tea EGCG”
Amazing nutrient. Prevents SARS and death.
I am living proof. I had a cup 20 years ago. SARs free and still alive.

Do exactly as consult describes - exactly
A lot of foods associated with the Mediterranean diet help with it. I was diagnosed when I was in college back in the 90’s. The best thing that helped me was staying away from fried foods and eating an almost vegetarian diet. Also, try to get in some exercise such as walking or riding a bike. That helped me too. Hope this helps.
For me, I have a mild case, not always symptomatic so not on meds for it, but it helps if I stay away from foods that also tend to cause me to have GERD episodes- chocolate. spaghetti sauce, onions, spicy/hot. YMMV, Doesn’t always work though.

He is being treated by a specialist.
TY! ❤
I had it over 20 years ago. It turned out to be stage 1 for myeloma for me.
As far as food, don’t depend on other’s recommendations. You should keep a food diary and if some food makes your symptoms worse. then note that fact in your diary and remove that food from your diet forever. Early on test the impact gluten might have on your symptoms. Gluten caused flare ups for me and I have heard others with UC have had gluten problems.
Good luck.
I was looking into yes for Alzheimer’s...a British study found that black teas are good for Alzheimer’s...
UC. Colitis. IBS. Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Avoid foods that skate through the digestive plumbing. Find foods that heal the digestive plumbing, such as:
Resveratrol vitamin, soda crackers and Ensure. Yes, some IBS patients live in Ensure alone for four weeks.
Pray and trust the Lord to quietly show you the foods and vitamins that you need.
Inflammation is triggered by bad foods and stress and getting a puppy or kitty decreases stress.
