hi my name is Eddie I am 18 and I was just diagnosed with ulcerative colitis a few months ago, and I have been stuck in a bad flare up since January.
one problem I am having is the diet change. I used to eat like a teenager, and obviously if I were to do that now I would probably end up back on the hospital. I miss the fatty and sugary foods.
buy the real issue is that I am stuck in a flare up that is apparently resistant to medications to this point, so ibam not really sure what makes my colitis worse. I tried keeping a food journal but I have a very small attention span and gave up on that within a week.
I have found that rice and basic meats are definitely ok for me, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice on snack foods that both taste good and don't upset my uc any worse than it is. I'm not usually hungry for big meals, and therefore am looking for something small to eat on shorter intervals, but I also lime good tasting food. I know that getting out of the flare up is going to take sacrifices food wise, but if I'm going to be sick for a while I may as well enjoy some small aspects of it where I can.
thank you.
