| Posted By: Tânia Posted On: Apr 20, 2008 Views: 1066 | diet If I think diet makes my disease worse? I don't believe so. But it definitely affects my UC when it makes my symptoms worse. If I am feeling fine, I can eat anything I want with no problems, but if my UC is flaring up I really have to be very strict on what I eat otherwise the pain will be unbearable |
| Posted By: Soraya Posted On: Apr 18, 2008 Views: 1073 | Bad foods The only thing I can't have at all is coffee (nooo) but other than that i don't think anything CAUSES my symptoms. When I am sick there are definitely things that make it worse- dairy, red meat, vegies (the v. high fibre ones) and fatty foods. |

| Posted By: Joe Higman Posted On: Apr 17, 2008 Views: 427 | Poll I don't think my UC is affected by my diet - but I think my medication - pentasa slow-release - has affected my sense of taste. I find my appetite for spicy foods has almost disappeared, and I don't like most fatty foods - so I'm off roasts. |
