Ulcerative Colitis Diet
Ulcerative colitis results from severe inflammation in the large intestine or colon. This condition can cause patients to suffer serious abdominal pain. There is no cure for ulcerative colitis, only the ability to control some symptoms. However, following a strict diet is one way to significantly reduce the chances that inflammation will cause severe damage to the colon.
Ulcerative colitis has been linked to use of isotretinoin, found in the drug Accutane. If you or a loved one has suffered harm as a result of taking this drug, you may be entitled to compensation.

Controlling Ulcerative Colitis with Diet
Ulcerative colitis is one of two major conditions that stem from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The inflammation associated with both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease can be triggered by certain foods.
In many cases, avoiding the following foods can significantly reduce the inflammation and pain associated with these conditions:
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
- Dairy
- Dried foods
- Nuts
- Raw vegetables
- Seeds
- High-fiber foods
There are also certain foods and nutrients that should be consumed to help prevent inflammation:
- Proteins
- Complex carbohydrates
- Good fats
- Whole grains
Sticking to a strict diet may prevent the inflammation that causes pain in ulcerative colitis patients.
