Food is very individual. What effects one person might not effect another.

My list is nothing. I flare regardless of what I eat. When in a flare, I have no safe foods. I did just buy curcumin to try even though I have almost no hope it will do anything and I hardly ever buy supplements, but my GI actually showed me a study about it a year ago, and I'm desperate so I figured what the heck.

Safe for me would be water, and even too much of that could send me to the toilet.

I tried for years to assign flares to foods, but never really could. When I was flaring, I was flaring. When I wasn't, I could eat road kill sushi.

Energy drinks, on the other hand, were a 1 step pathway to hell. No matter what. Always.

Anyone else tried 'black cumin seed oil', aka Kalonji oil, aka Nigella sativa. My Colitis was triggered by taking Roaccutane/accutane (worst decision of my life) I've heard others in the same situation recommend it, it is hard to say for sure but I think it helped me go into remission, that and eating mainly millet (I can barely look at it now).

I agree that for me there really aren't any "safe" foods. I had some success with mesalamine treatment paired with the IBD-AID/SCD diets, but I can also eat or drink just about anything I'd like (except coffee) while on azathioprine and mesalamine. A relative of mine who has Crohn's? Takes mesalamine and drinks coffee like it is water. Another relative of mine with Crohn's takes Humira and eats whatever he wants.

I’m thinking of buying lions mane. It’s a mushroom that some people say helps with energy, and it’s an anti inflammatory. I’m also going to my acupuncturist next week. I might feel better after that appointment.

this lion's mane sounds interesting, I've just read about it. Has anyone else tried it?

I eat whatever I want. There are no safe foods or unsafe foods for me. Food does not affect my UC symptoms in any discernible way.
