Question 2

pain under left rib evrrytime i eat like food is getting stuck there ? what can i take with having colitis

Accepted Answer

Dysphagia: pain or the sensation of something getting stuck in the esophagus after eating is often due to irritation of the esophagus. There can be multiple causes of this, the most common being gastroesophageal reflux disease. I would try over-the-counter ant acids first. Follow the directions with that medication, but if you're no better in 1 to 2 weeks, see your doctor. Good luck.

Question 3

please suggest what foods can i eat with ulcerative colitis?

Accepted Answer

I am assuming: Your colitis is in remission; anything you want that is generally healthy; many tho are more sensitive to dairy products so might be wise to avoid milk, ice cream, cheeses. If you are in flare a more bland diet with less fiber is best. Check with the doctor managing your colitis and meds.

Question 4

i keep eating the same foods, mostly and unhealthy things . what foods can i eat with ulcerative colitis?

Accepted Answer

Veggies: Lots of whole vegetables are ok. Lean meats. Avoid processed foods. Learn to cook!

Question 5

what to do if i was recently diagnosed with colitis-acute and wanna know if i can eat mayo on a sandwich?

Accepted Answer

Colitis and diet: Absent infection, colitis can respond to food irritants. Gluten, lactose, bile and fat generally are not well tolerated. However, okay to try the fat mayonnaise in small isolated amount. Watch the result over one to two days. Then decide what your reaction was and if you want to avoid it in the future. Be well.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Diet: Keep a healthy diet, follow your doctor's instructions, and enjoy.

Question 7

i was diagnosed with acute colitis three months back and treated.what kind of food should i eat to stay safe? is drinking beer ok(1-2 times/month)

Accepted Answer

Depends: On individual, but some people find that reducing dairy products is helpful, as well as difficult to digest foods (corn), and foods that produce lots of gas (broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, beans). Alcohol is not good, and i would not recommend it.  Others find that reducing gluten in their diet may help.  Still others find no problems with any foods at all. You should address ? To GI doctor.

Question 8

low ferritin levels with colitis. colitis is fine at the moment and no blood but i can't seem to increase my ferritin. this is level 9. taking galfer 10ml a day. i eat good veg and fruit. what else can i do to help increase my levels?

Accepted Answer

: Iron is sometimes difficult to absorb, especially when there is inflammation present. To help the iron get absorbed, take it with 500mg of Vitamin C-this creates the acidic environment needed for iron absorption. If your iron studies remain low after trying the Vitamin C, you may need to get a dose of IV iron-your doctor can arrange that if it proves necessary. Best of luck to you!

Question 9

i have ibd (crohn's-colitis). can i eat red meat?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Red meat is not harmful in patient swith colitis.  Excessive fiber intake, raw fruits and vegetables can cause an increase in diarrhea, cramping and bloating.
