Ulcerative Colitis Management

The foods and drinks we consume can have a direct impact on gastrointestinal health. When managing Ulcerative Colitis, a well-balanced and individualized nutrition plan can help reduce symptoms and prevent flare-ups.


Here are the key ways nutrition plays a role in Ulcerative Colitis management:


  • Reducing Inflammation: Our registered dietitians can help you identify these trigger foods and incorporate anti-inflammatory foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and omega-3-rich foods, into your diet.
  • Managing Symptoms: Your diet can also play a crucial role in managing certain symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis. For example, incorporating more fiber-rich foods can help control diarrhea, while limiting consumption of gas-producing foods can help with abdominal pain and bloating.
  • Promoting Proper Nutrient Absorption: Our registered dietitians can help you choose foods that are easily absorbed and provide the necessary nutrients for your body's needs.
  • Maintaining a Healthy Weight: Those with Ulcerative Colitis may experience unintentional weight loss due to diarrhea and decreased appetite. A nutrition plan can help people maintain a healthy weight and prevent nutrient deficiencies.
