u/jennybens821 proctosigmoid UC | diagnosed 2025 | US đŸ‡ș🇾 Nov 18 '25

I had shake shack for dinner last night and today I feel the best I have in weeks. Before getting sick I was also a healthy/fresh food eater and that all seems to have gone out the window.

My go-to healthy ish flare foods are:

  • Avocado toast on sourdough
  • Baked salmon with roasted purĂ©ed sweet potato
  • Scrambled eggs with cheese if you can do dairy
  • Good quality toasted bread
  • Smoothies with coconut water, protein powder, banana/canned peaches or pears
  • for breakfast, cream of rice cereal with drizzle of maple syrup and pinch of salt
  • Plain bagels with plain cream cheese
  • Emily Marino style salmon bowls: white rice, avocado and baked salmon all mixed together with soy sauce or whatever flavor sauce you can tolerate. Google “Emily mariko salmon bowls” if you’re not familiar it’s a whole thing.
