How can I deal with the pain with my colitis?

Question

I have colitis and it has been good to me before but it has come back I am trying to get a hold of my specialest. I want to go back to work and do whatever I want adn beable to do stuff like normal people. I know to eat well and stuff but is there any other ways.

Answer 1

I suffer from the same problem and I thought I knew everything about how to eat with this problem. I came across a website they gave me information about how to eat like I never understood before. It has changed my life and I no longer suffer with the pain.

Soluble fiber is the single greatest dietary aid for preventing colitis symptoms in the first place, as well as relieving them once they occur. Here's the kicker. Soluble fiber is NOT typically found in foods most people think of as "fiber," such as bran or raw leafy green vegetables. Soluble fiber is actually found in foods commonly thought of as "starches", though soluble fiber itself differs from starch as the chemical bonds that join its individual sugar units cannot be digested by enzymes in the human GI tract. In other words, soluble fiber has no calories because it passes through the body intact.

As a general rule, the grain and cereal foods at the top of this list make the safest, easiest, and most versatile soluble fiber foundations for your meals and snacks.[1]

Rice
Pasta and noodles
Oatmeal
Barley
Fresh white breads such as French or sourdough (NOT whole wheat or whole grain)*
Rice cereals
Flour tortillas
Soy
Quinoa
Corn meal
Potatoes
Carrots
Yams
Sweet potatoes
Turnips
Rutabagas
Parsnips
Beets
Squash and pumpkins
Mushrooms
Chestnuts
Avocados (though they do have some fat)
Bananas
Applesauce
Mangoes
Papayas (also digestive aids that relieve gas and indigestion)

I hope this helps you. If you have any further questions please let me know.

Answer 2

Have you looked into possibly that there are some foods your GI tract just doesn't digest well. Have you tried a wide spectrum digestive aid like Omegazyme?

I am only recommending you check it out, not try it. I don't know what type of colitis you have and I am not a doctor.
