Ulcerative Colitis Diet Plan: Best & Worst Food

Cooked Veggies

As raw veggies are high in fiber, they would make it harder for people with ulcerative colitis to digest and lead to additional stomach pain, gas, and bloating during a flare. Thus, it is advisable to avoid consuming fresh or raw veggies. Instead, it is better to cook them thoroughly before eating to aid in digestion. Basically, the best option is to boil your veggies in water and make use of the same water to cook rice. This might help recapture a part of the nutrients and minerals lost during the cooking process. [2]
