Hi
I think the general consensus is that while you are in a [wiki2="Flare"]flare[/wiki2] you need to be especially careful about what you eat: you intestines are already inflamed so you do not want to irritate them any more.
Unfortunately it seems that what is good for one person does not work for another.
You can look up advice about diet during flaring on this site, or else post questions if you are unsure.
I hope you get a dietician who takes this seriously. I had one at the hospital who wanted me to go on a healthy eating diet (in her eyes) that would probably be good for most patients, but not IBD patients! My new dietician is very aware of the needs of patients with bowel [wiki2="Inflammation"]inflammation[/wiki2], thank goodness, and she also has great computer programmes to check diet against nutritional intake.
Good luck and I hope you are feeling better very soon. I agree with David, it is overwhelming, especially at the beginning, but the best thing you can do is educate yourself so that you do get what is right for you.
