Colitus

I have colitus and I want to increase my veggie intake and I struggle with complex carbs. What tips does anyone have to help? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So sorry you are dealing with colitis. My husband was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about 10 years ago. Not fun. He has always had to be careful with raw veggies, whole grain breads, anything with a lot of roughage that takes more effort for the body to digest. It's a bummer, because those things are healthier for you, but harder on the gut, especially if it's giving you problems.

Have you tried juicing veggies or maybe smoothies? Do these things bother you all the time, or just if you eat too many at once?
