Sometimes it’s not the food

What do these all have in common for someone suffering from an Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)?🙋‍♀️⁠
⁠
Sometimes they just don’t work.👎⁠ Sometimes it’s not the food… and please do not feel badly about that. 
⁠
Let’s not forget, these diets, where you cut out certain food groups and eliminate specific types of foods; they can be really hard, mentally, emotionally, and physically on the body. 😓⁠
⁠
Try them. Give them 100% effort. 💪⁠
⁠
But if they don’t work, don’t feel bad. ⁠
⁠
There are some of us in this IBD world where these diet changes just don’t work. ⁠Again, sometimes it’s not the food. 

In my recent YouTube video, I chat all about the diets I’ve tried and some other surprises about ulcerative colitis. 

⁠
If you’re somebody who has tried ✨all the diets✨ and are really struggling, I have a few tips as far as what to eat when you’re in a flare.🔥⁠ They are simple and straightforward and can make all the difference when you don’t know what to eat. Keep it simple. 
⁠
⏩Eat whole foods: from the Earth 🌎, from an animal🐓, or from the ocean🐠. ⁠
⁠
⏩Avoid: ⁠

🚫Super processed foods ⁠
🚫Fake ingredients ⁠
🚫Artificial flavors ⁠
🚫Colors ⁠
⁠
Put this insider tip in your back pocket👖: Make the consistency of your food really soft, almost like baby food.👶 ⁠
⁠
A lot of times when I’m in a really bad flare, I will drink smoothies, I’ll have soup, and I’ll puree foods like vegetables because it just breaks things down a little bit more. It’s easier to digest and it’s easier on your digestive system! ⁠
