How could diet affect ulcerative colitis?

    Last Updated: October 24, 2023

    There is no evidence that people with UC benefit from restrictive diets, and long-term use may result in nutritional deficiencies.[1] Although some evidence suggests that the low-FODMAP diet can help reduce symptoms of IBD, it does not improve stool consistency or reduce mucosal inflammation.[2]
