colitis
Ulcerative colitis, also referred to as colitis, is a chronic
disorder in which the mucous membranes which line the colon become
inflamed and develop ulcers. Symptoms of ulcerative colitis are bloody
diarrhea, pain, gas, bloating, and/or hard stools. Since the colon
muscles have to work hard to move the hard stools the colon wall can
bulge out into small pouch-like projections called diverticula. It is in
the diverticuli that stools can gather and cause gas, bloating, and
pain.
Several factors need to be addressed when talking about an ulcerative
colitis diet: foods, supplements, and stress.
The ulcerative colitis diet involves eliminating the following foods from your diet: wheat, rye, corn, milk, peanuts, whole nuts and seeds (eat only ground ones such as almond butter), oranges, grapefruit, and refined white sugar. For information on some of these common allergy-causing foods click here.
Eat melons only if you have an empty stomach (first thing in the morning, for example). Limit the consumption of, or eliminate, pork, beef, and lamb.
Find an activity that is relaxing for you such as taking a 20 minute Epsom salt bath daily or meditating 15 minutes twice daily.
