Hello everyone,
when living with ulcerative colitis, food can sometimes make a big difference in how you feel, even though triggers and helpful foods may vary from one person to another.
What foods seem to help you manage your symptoms better?
Have you found any meals, ingredients, or eating habits that feel gentler on your digestive system?
And are there any foods you try to avoid?
Please feel free to share your experience with the other members. 💛
Take care,
Somya from the Carenity team 🌼
