Last week I was diagnosed with colitis although they havent confomred what type yet. I am on a high dose of steriods and anti inflammitorys. they are helping alot and I have never felt better! but I was wondering if any other colitis sufferers out there had a special diet that prevented or reduced the symptoms of colitis.

soft bland foods like potatoes,eggs ,bread meat and fiber,friuts and veggies that are seedless
no chips,bbq,seedy things

You should type in colitis on the Internet you will learn a lot about it and what diet is best.

I would say you should avoid a diet that is high in fiber.

Spicy foods, caffeine, dairy products, and red meat should all be avoided. also, avoid stressful situations.

I know that IBS is a seperate disease, but there are a lot of similarities. One thing that I have found with IBS is that if I eat lower fat options, I feel better. I can get away with dairy and red meat, for example, if I eat fat free dairy products and VERY lean meat.

Wikipedia has a pretty good description and information, but your best bet would be to ask your doctor! I'm so glad that you are feeling better!
