Hey guys just wondering how you all get on with your foods.
IVe not changed my diet at all since been diagnosed. Infact im actually finding it harder. My food seems so much worse eg in a stir fry I used to put in green beans along with broccoli peppers n onions n now I just have the peppers and onions
Have any of you adopted for a gluten free diet?
In the morning wheni wake up im at the toilet about 3/4 times before I even go downstairs to put the kettle on
The wind I have it ridiculous but I always hVe to go to the toilet or I'll have an accident
Nighttime is very much the same I spend half my time in the bathroom
I think if I adapt my diet then hopefully this might help
Hi millie I was told 8 weeks ago I had uc I have cut out all wheat in my diet. I have found that it has made a difference. To my bowel movements in fact made them better. Think the mornings are bad in general. But I have only been on the meds for 8 weeks also the meds could take time to kick in.
I have start a list of foods that I eat and just seeing how that goes trying new foods and making a note which ones are ok and the ones that flare my uc up.
I haven't really had to change my diet that much, I was diagnosed around 4 months ago and haven't really noticed a chance. However, if I eat a lot of sugary sweets like haribos I get pain. But I guess it's just trial and error for everyone, apparently a lot of people suffer with broccoli but it doesn't affect me at all.
Possibly keep a food diary of what you eat and when you have pain, it seems like effort but if you are concerned it will make eating a lot easier
Have a look on the guys and St Thomas website where you will find a diet suited to uc sufferers! Works well for me! Suggests cutting out most of what I've been eating all my life, which was regarded as healthy eating but was killing me. The diet doesn't cure it, but itcertainly helps!
