Importance of Diet

Ulcerative colitis is an ongoing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that attacks the large intestine (colon). Diet does not heal UC but decreases flare-ups, manages symptoms, and aids recovery.

A healthy diet assists by:

• Decreasing inflammation and irritation in the colon
• Preventing nutritional deficiencies (because of poor absorption)
• Handling diarrhea, bloating, and cramping
• Supporting gut healing and preserving energy

Goals of the Diet

• Supply soft, easily absorbed food which decreases bowel irritation
• Maintain sufficient protein, vitamins, and minerals
• Avoid gas-producing, spicy, and high-fiber foods during flare-ups
• Promote probiotics and fluids (if tolerated)
• Support immune equilibrium and gut healing

• Whole grains and high-fiber foods (during active flare-up)
• Dairy (if lactose intolerant)
• Caffeine and carbonated beverages (coffee, cola, soda)

Lifestyle Remedies

• Take small, frequent meals every 3 hours rather than full meals
• Avoid lying down soon after eating
• Keep oneself hydrated during the day
• Maintain a food diary to determine personal triggers
• Use deep breathing, yoga, or meditation to control stress
• Have proper sleep for immune equilibrium

Special Note:

• When there is a flare-up, consume low-fiber, bland, soft foods such as khichdi, boiled vegetables, curd, and soups.
• During remission, slowly add fiber and probiotics such as fruits, green vegetables, and fermented foods.

A diet in ulcerative colitis must be soft, comforting, and nutrient-dense foods such as moong dal khichdi, lauki sabzi, oats, rice, banana, curd, chicken stew, and soups, skipping spicy, fried, and high-fiber foods during flare-ups. Protein, hydration, and probiotics are essential for healing and maintaining remission. Along with medication and stress management, diet is central to long-term gut health and comfort.
