Ulcerative Colitis Diet Plan: Best & Worst Food

Low-fiber Fruits

Tolerance for fruits can vary among people with ulcerative colitis. For many patients, consuming too much fiber would make it more difficult to digest, thus causing more irritation during a flare. For this reason, it is better to choose low-fiber fruits such as melons, applesauce, cantaloupes, apricots, and plums. Make sure to remove the seeds and skin, which is the part of insoluble fiber. When diarrhea is serious, you would cook fruits and consume soft fleshy ones to tolerate them better. [6]
