Do you cook your vegetables really well? Things like mashed carrot or sweet potato are quite gentle.
No problem, let me know if you'd like any more info. Maybe give it a go for a week or so and see how you get on. Keep a food diary so you can keep track of what you're eating and when you feel unwell.
Personally I'm positive that my diet has kept me in remission and medication free for the past couple of years. I do also eat a lot of nuts and seeds, but I know that they wouldn't agree with many people (I couldn't tolerate them for a long time either!!)
I thought you were talking about raw vegetables. I don't have trouble with cooked vegetables, except for green peas; those never go well with my stomach.
Diet does play a great role in the symptoms; I'm currently in an active flare, and I had based my diet mostly on raw fruits to be able to keep up, but now I have to find another way to adapt until this goes away.
I have not tried eating nuts, because of what most people say. I'm way too afraid to give it a go myself.
What fruits are you eating? Apples can cause me bloating, pain and at times diarrhea. The fiber in them seems to be the issue.
I eat bananas, apples and grapes; they all cause gases, but no constipation or diarrhea. When I drink my morning hibiscus tea, the one spoon of sugar added to it causes me gas, so I'm pretty sure it has to do with sugar.
I can mostly just est bananas when it comes to fruits. Besides my GI and my GP, I go to Roselle Center for Healing. I did a food diary for one of the doctors and he frowned on the organic pop tarts because of the sugar.
I can cut down or eliminate sugar, but the fact that I can't eat fruit is going to make me shift my whole diet plan. As I had fruits in all my daily meals as a main ingredient.
