Aviod refined foods;eat foods that have a lot of fibre,like fruits and vegetables.
Never eat white bread,eat full corn or whole wheat.
Bran is good for you.
Avoid pureed foods and seasonings that contain MSG (monosodium glutamate) as these aggravate Colitis and can cause spurious diarrhoea.
Also avoid smoking and alcohol.
There are leaflets your doctor will give you that give up to date information on living with colitis .
Depending on the type you have,it may be a temporary or a permanent condition;requiring lifestyle changes.
