hi, I am new to this message board and just found out that I had colitis. Since I was just diagnosed my doctor said I can eat anything. The problem is that some things cause more pain then others but I don't know what causes the problems. I read that Oatmeal in the morning isnt bad..so is there anything that I should absolutly avoid? I have been diagnosed a month ago and already fed up...

At least some of the eating for IBS sorts of advice may be appropriate for colitis because somethings tend to cause diarrhea and that would be a problem for you as well.Some people when they are having a flare up of the inflamation find fiber of any kind irritating. If you find you are in one of those spells check out this http://www.gicare.com/pated/edtgs02.htm www....com has a lot of good info on what tends to be bothersome for IBSers and it maybe worth trying to follow some of those guidelines and see if that helps.Good luck
