Ulcerative Colitis Food List Printable: overview of what's included

Overview

Food advice for ulcerative colitis is confusing because it changes with how you feel. This printable splits it into three columns: a varied diet for when you're well, gentler choices many people use during a flare, and foods that are often harder to handle.

A second page covers what the NIDDK and IBD charities say, what to ask about if you have a stricture, and simple flare habits. Plan with the grocery list and a week of meal ideas, and track meals, bathroom trips and pain in the flare log.

  • Well and flare

    Separate columns for remission and flares.

  • What experts say

    NIDDK and Crohn's & Colitis guidance.

  • Stricture tips

    What to ask your IBD team about.

  • Flare log

    Meals, bathroom trips and pain in one table.

Questions

What should I eat with ulcerative colitis?

When you're well, a varied diet with vegetables, fruit, whole grains, fish, eggs and lean meat. In a flare, many people find well-cooked peeled vegetables, ripe bananas, white rice, eggs and soups easier.

Is there a special diet that cures it?

No. The NIDDK says no specific food has been shown to cause or worsen it, and no single diet works for everyone.

What foods are harder to handle in a flare?

Greasy and fried foods, processed meats, very sugary or salty foods and alcohol, and for some people beans, cabbage, broccoli, caffeine and fizzy drinks.

Can I use it on my iPad?

Yes. Import the PDF into GoodNotes, Notability, Xodo or any PDF app. The index and section tabs are clickable, so you can tap to jump between sections.

Will I get a printed copy in the mail?

No. It's a digital download. You print the pages yourself at home or at a print shop, or use them on a tablet.

How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
