After 3 years of being diagnosed with UC and staying in a constant flare the whole time- meds haven't helped- I am at the point of being ready to consider surgery. My worry, concern, is that I also have major food sensitivities since I was diagnosed. Has anyone had this issue as well? I am concerned that those will continue and this won't fix help the problem.
In my experience I could hardly eat anything when I was in a UC flare. I lived on plain chicken breast, rice and bread. Now, with my j pouch, I can and do eat anything I want. There may be certain foods that will "bother" me more than others but no where in comparison as to UC. When I say bother I mean I may have a few extra trips to the bathroom but I never have any pain or urgency. Best of luck to you going forward with the surgery. It's tough but worth it in the end.
