Medical disclaimer

Colitis Foods (colitisfoods.com) is an educational resource written from a patient's perspective. It is not medical advice, and nothing on this site creates a doctor-patient relationship.

The content on this site is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified healthcare provider. Always seek the advice of your physician, gastroenterologist, or a registered dietitian with any questions about your condition and diet, and never disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something you read here.

Ulcerative colitis affects every person differently. A food described here as "usually tolerated" may trigger symptoms for you, and a food described as a "common trigger" may be fine for you. Do not make significant dietary changes — especially during a flare, or if you are losing weight or malnourished — without medical supervision.

If you experience severe abdominal pain, significant rectal bleeding, high fever, or signs of dehydration, seek medical care immediately.
