11.Add One New Food a Day
After a flare, you may want to stick only to your “safe” foods. That’s understandable. But don’t get stuck. Once you feel well, add one new food a day. See how it goes. If you don’t react well to a food, cross it off your list. But you may be happily surprised. There are probably a lot more foods that you can handle than foods you can’t.
12.Stay Hydrated
If you have IBD, you may be more likely to get dehydrated, especially when you have symptoms. Stay hydrated. Sip your drinks. Gulping them down can cause uncomfortable gas. Be careful with alcohol and caffeinated or carbonated drinks. All three can make you dehydrated or trigger symptoms of the disease.
