I seem to alternate between the BRAT and FODMAP diets since Reclast did a number on my IBS. Bread, French or sour dough, white rice and fennel tea are my go-tos when it’s particularly bad. Nothing fatty, greasy or fried. Bananas are good too.
I wish you luck - it’s no fun!

Hi @paintbrushmom and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm glad that you joined this discussion and are interested in hearing how others are managing this disorder with an eating plan. I see that @dbmenger has already responded to your post.

If you would like to meet others who are dealing with this as well, here is a link to a discussion that you might find helpful and interesting, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lymphocitic-cholitis/ I would encourage you to read the posts in this discussion.

I would like to invite the following members of that group to discuss this with you, @kbiederbeck @stellawf @mjzd, and @astaingegerdm.

I am glad to hear that you have found the trigger foods that seem to cause you problems and are dealing with this problem in a satisfactory manner. What symptoms are the most troubling for you right now?

I'm happy to hear you are doing what works best for your body. With diagnoses that include the GI tract, it can be so difficult to navigate all the "don't eat this" lists that are out there. Unless it is truly unsafe for you to eat, we often recommend finding out what specific foods trigger symptoms (like you have done), as opposed to doing avoiding long lists of foods.

It's true that some of the things on these lists aren't tolerated by my gut any longer. I have GERD, and would love to get my biome balanced, but after years of enjoying yoghurt and Kombucha several days a week, I found that they had become triggers for me causing rectal bleeding, UTI, and yeast infections. My doctor was insisting that I should eat yoghurt, and didn't believe me that it is causing these conditions, but I know by process of elimination and reintroduction that it is.
