One thing to keep in mind is that reducing and removing pro-inflammatory foods is equal, if not more important, because otherwise you are just perpetually trying to heal from the same wounds you keep freshly laying down. When it comes to gastrointestinal problems, things get complicated. I've found three specialists on the subject whose work might help you. One is Dr. Sean Spencer. The other, whose books might be exactly what you're looking for, is Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. And the last is Dr. Alan Desmond.
I'd like to give you a convenient list of foods, but for those of us with these illnesses, each one is a unique quagmire to untangle and I haven't even fully solved my own gut illness yet (though my symptoms are consistently much better than they used to be).
This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much!
I have diverticular disease, which occasionally gets set off. It can be a real mess sometimes!
