Ulcerative Colitis

by earlybird42, Mar 20, 2008 10:25AM
I was told had ulcerative colitis.  Doctor told me I had to stop Rowasa (too much can cause side effects I guess).  I'm trying to eat healthy diet and read people with ulcerative colitis shouldn't have gluten.  Can gluten cause more inflammation in ulcerative colitis patients?   It's hard to know what to eat anymore (I guess I need a book about ulcerative colitis, celiac disease)

Tks


This discussion is related to Non-specific colitis.

There are some people who can have both celiac problems and U.C. so if you do have gluten problems, it's going to make you more miserable in general.

I'm not sure whether is U.C. people who shouldn't eat gluten, but it appears that forms of microscopic colitis can be tied into gluten intolerance.

You could try a gluten-exclusion diet and see how you feel. If you feel better, then you might want to consider going gluten-free (no wheat, rye or barley) all the time.
