Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by recurrent intestinal inflammation. In UC, there is an abnormal inflammatory response that results in inflammation of the entire inner lining of the large intestine. This can cause a lot of pain, tenderness, weight loss, and even more severe side effects like the formation of ulcers that bleed. This inflammation of the large intestine can prevent nutrients from being absorbed properly, leading to various nutritional deficiencies. Dietary factors are the most important triggers for IBD, so adhering to a supportive diet is crucial to preventing flare-ups.
