A member asked:
What foods should someone not eat with ulcerative colitis and how many ounces water should drink a day to avoid constipation?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Four glasses: 4-6 glasses of water a day is plenty for most people. There is a lot of water in the food you eat as well so you don't need to overdo it with extra water.
