There is little evidence to suggest any specific foods cause ulcerative colitis. However, the diet of an individual with ulcerative colitis may need to be modified as they are at increased risk of malnutrition. In addition, additional advice may be required when planning pregnancy or if they are affected by a complication, such as a colonic stricture. It is important that any changes are made with the oversight of a trained professional to ensure they are receiving adequate nutrition from their diet.
