Colon and intestine inflammation can cause pain and discomfort. In some cases, a person may be able to manage their symptoms and reduce the inflammation by adding specific foods to their diet. The primary cause of intestinal and colon inflammation is inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is an umbrella term that covers Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Both conditions cause inflammation in the gut. According to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, the same diet will not work for everyone with IBD. However, some foods may help reduce inflammation more than others. Ultimately, a person should work with their doctor to determine which foods work best for them and which ones may cause inflammation and symptoms to worsen. In this article, we provide suggestions for foods that may help a person reduce inflammation in their intestine or colon. Post-flare foods University Hospitals states that a person should slowly reintroduce foods after an inflammatory flare. To do this, they can add one or two items of new food every few days. If a food begins to cause symptoms, they should avoid it. The following foods may be suitable for a person who has just had a flare-up of Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis: diluted juices

applesauce

canned fruit

oatmeal

plain chicken, turkey, or fish

cooked eggs or egg substitutes

mashed potatoes, white rice, or noodles

sourdough or white bread
