Fruits and Vegetables
Although healthy, fruits and vegetables should be eaten without peel, without bagasse, and without seeds, especially during attacks of colitis. In addition, they must also be cooked to facilitate their absorption at the intestinal level and to avoid excessive intestinal stimuli. This is because, because it contains large amounts of fiber, fruits, and vegetables can greatly stimulate bowel movements, which can end up worsening the pain and other symptoms that arise with the crises.
Some vegetables that should be avoided in any way include broccoli and cauliflower, as they increase the production of intestinal gases, contributing to discomfort. See other examples of foods that produce many gases, and that should be avoided.
