The food pages tell you whether one ingredient is usually OK. These put the usually-OK ingredients together into meals I actually make. Flare recipes are built only from foods this site rates usually tolerated during a flare, cooked soft, peeled, and kept low in fat and insoluble fiber. Remission recipes bring fiber, color, and flavor back one step at a time.

Low-residue, soft, lean, and low in lactose. Nothing here is raw, fried, seedy, spicy, or built on onion and garlic. These are the meals for the weeks when the goal is calories and protein you can keep down.

Remission recipes

Whole grains, cooked greens, bell peppers, berries, and real flavor, built from foods this site rates usually OK in remission. Most include a tip for stripping the dish back down if a flare returns.
