    I'm not in the situation, but I would definitely do more research into it. I found these sites: http://drbenkim.com/articles-ulcerative-colitis-diet.htm ,http://www.livestrong.com/article/285609-food-to-eat-with-ulcerative-colitis/ and they seem pretty helpful in giving you ideas on healthy choices. What are you having the most difficulty with?

    I have it, diagnosed 9 years ago. I am gluten, corn, dairy and soy free. Can't eat many nuts or citrus either. I lost weight when I finally figured out all of my intolerances (I'm here because I quit smoking). Let me know if you need any help!

    I have UC, also. I try to eat low residue foods as much as possible.
    My diary should be open if you want to see what I eat.

    I am in the hospital just diagnosed with severe ulcertive colitus. I am looking for soft food diet options and would appreciate any help. I have always been very careful with my diet and I just dont understand how I could have become so sick. I had diareah and vomiting for eleven days before going to hospital and I have been in here seven days now. Still on a Full Liquid Diet. The goal is release on a Soft Food Diet, if I can handle it.
