Have been diagnosed for three years, and always seem to relaspe just as things seem to be getting better. Currently flared-up. Diet mainly consists of white meat, fish, potatoes, carrot and swede. Cannot tolerate green veg or salad veg, cheese, tomatoes, onion. I don’t eat rice, noodles, chilli or curry, and the only hot foodstuff I have is a very small amount of brown pepper on chicken. How do people whose diet is mainly a spicey one, ie Asian/Indian, cope with Colitis?
