Definitely avoids all NSAIDS as they can trigger flare ups. Otherwise I take 4 Metamucil capsules each day and try as high a fiber diet as I can tolerate. Broccoli and dried beans only in very limited amounts. My sister gets flare ups from peanuts. So we’re all different. And stress always can make things worse as our gut is part of our nervous system.

I used to eat broccoli, but no more since it really affects me. I was told to take 'A' metamucil, but I should try taking more. I'm actually trying to stay away from high fiber while I am having pain because I guess it means that something bad is happening if I have pain. As I do today! I should take a 1/2 pill tonight to make sure I can go to the bathroom tomorrow since I haven't in two days. Nor unusual for me! I only drank liquid for lunch today and ate fish, baked potato, and a slice of pound cake for dessert. I sure miss a real dessert. I did eat jello the past two nights for dessert. What else can I eat for dessert? Hmmmm, I wonder.
