I researched this since my wife and I both have inflammation problems. She has microscopic
colitis with typical IBS symptoms.
Beets and beet juice are anti-inflammatory in the GI system.
Same good reports for pomegranate juice. I consider turmeric helpful. Avoid sugar and artificial sweeteners. Stevia without erythritol and agave are better. Don’t forget added vitamin D is a key immune modulator and may not be readily absorbed in IBD. Avoid gluten, even non celiac
sufferers can benefit from eliminating most of it from our diet. Fodmap in my opinion is just
lessening symptoms not as relevant as an anti inflammatory
diet trial. Journal your food and symptoms and be consistent in your routine if your lifestyle allows. Very difficult to find healthy fast foods. Many restaurants and making an effort
for diet conscious customers.

Hi, Kitty: Ion Gut Support (not gut "health" as I wrote previously) is a liquid humic extract product that is supposed to protect against toxins and help gut microbiome health. I buy it on Amazon; it is tasteless and odorless, and you just add a teaspoon of it to whatever you're drinking three times a day. The L-glutamine I buy is a powder; I use one scoop (it's a tiny scoop included in the product) a day. It is supposed to help gut integrity, among other things.

Re: your UC. I was on steroids 13 years without a break. I am now on Entyvio and am doing well. Perhaps talk to your gastroenterologist about Entyvio or another of the several biologics that are currently being used to treat UC. Wishing you the best!
