I just put this on your tubesmile

I’ve been spending time looking into recommended diets and (I’m seriously thinking of starting a IBD AID). I’ve noticed that what they gave in common are encouragement to eat veggies (prebiotics... feeds healthy bacteria, and avoid processed foods. I have been keeping a good diary for the last few years and I think this advice makes sense for my body. Pegan doesn’t seem all that radical to me. My plan is to stay in my doctors treatment plan, finish this course of prednisone, and follow some of these plans. I have eaten less veggies since being diagnosed with UC so I’m planning on making more veggie soups and stews, and home made yogurt (probiotics) and maybe I’ll find what’s just right for me ... that’s my hope anyway.

I, myself, prefer a Christian-diet rather than a Pegan-diet, haha (just kidding, but could not resist) :-p

I have not heard anything discussed here about a pegan diet and UC, that I can think of. Try it and report back.

I noticed troubledturds, that you used to avoid corn, rice and wheat in your diet. Is this still the case? And did you ever avoid oatmeal? I’m asking because I have been eating a very large bowl of oatmeal every day with honey and blueberries. Pretty much the main reason I’m thinking of trying the IBD - AID diet is because I don’t want to give up my oatmeal.

I avoid gluten/wheat almost 100% - corn just about as much - rice and oats i'm less strict about, but still limit them to occasionally -

my advice to just about everyone is to avoid grains as much as possible - they should be a once in a while treat, just as sugar should be - I do believe in the "buying food that has no ingredient list" way of eating - simple, real food - stay away from all the processed crap -

This is my plan. Avoiding any packaged multi ingredient food , bread, fried foods, sugar, pasta, and rice. I also don’t eat meat so it’s restrictive. But I have a variety of one pot meals that involve carrots, celery, leeks, other veggies, spices and split peas, lentils or rice. And, at the same time, an occasional sandwich or an onion ring won’t be the end of the world. And it could give me information. (Although I know for a fact just writing that that there is a big difference between a sandwich and an onion ring! I need to be very careful with onion rings. I sometimes like to eat a Beyond meat burger with onion rings from a & w )

so no meat means vegan ? or just a plain old vegetarian ? why not meat ?

I was a 15+ year ethical vegan when UC arrived - for me it was a choice between starving and barely functioning or eat and continue living and taking care of responsibilities - goodbye vegan ways -

I hear you! I stopped eating all animal products 7 years ago, because I felt sad about farming practices. I have occasionally eaten prawns or cheese, chocolate or something with egg in it over the years.
This week I ate a chicken thigh twice.
And today I bought a dozen eggs for me. Moving forward I will eat what I think is best for my health.

I did buy a vegan crockpot cookbook from value village ($3!!) this week that has so many well cooked vegetable recipes , some with tofu, many with beans peas and lentils, that seem to comply with IBD AID. I’ve already made a split pea soup with lots of carrots in it and I’m looking forward to the big variety of recipes.

I’m planning on making and eating turkey soup today (Canadian thanksgiving yesterday). I’ve been listening to my gut lately and I’m positive it’s telling me to eat all the turkey soup!

Oh I think my gut must be telling me the same thing - eat all the turkey soup! I feel like I could eat the entire pot, it is so good!

I went on the FODMAP diet, strictly for a week, and then experimenting, as it suggests. Writing down the details and then altering what I consumed, based on how I reacted make a significant improvement in my condition.

Our unique guts are all different, and what food modifications work for me probably won't work for you, but the discipline of the FODMAP technique should help all of us, taking much of the guesswork out of what we can safely eat.
