Ulcerative colitis is an unpredictable and highly inflammatory bowel disease. People with this condition frequently experience ulcers in their colon, a part of the large intestine. Additionally, diarrhea, bloody stools, abdominal cramps, and constipation are common indicators of this disorder. Such symptoms may worsen once in a while, known as flare-ups, while on other occasions, one may experience none. Here are some simple and effective ways to manage ulcerative colitis symptoms: Reducing fiber intake Surprisingly, fiber-rich foods can trigger ulcerative colitis flare-ups in people with the condition. Fiber is a good option for people looking to improve their bowel health and regularity. However, too much fiber has been found to aggravate ulcerative colitis flare-ups. To offset this, patients can consume low-fiber foods such as butter, tofu, eggs, fish, refined carbohydrates (white bread, white rice, white pasta), fish, juice with no pulp, and a few cooked fruits with no seeds or skin. Exercising regularly Following a regular exercise routine is always advisable due to the range of health benefits it brings into a person’s life. Daily workouts also help reduce the symptoms and complications associated with ulcerative colitis. When a person living with this disorder exercises regularly, they can counter some of the more extreme symptoms, such as a weakened immune system, decreased bone density, stress and pain, and the emotional turmoil that all these bring.
