Food 8: Eggs
Eggs are often termed nature’s multivitamin, and for a good reason. They pack a punch when it comes to nutrition, offering everything from high-quality protein to essential vitamins and minerals. For those grappling with lymphocytic colitis, eggs, especially when cooked softly, can be a gentle and nutritious food choice.
One of the prime benefits of eggs is their digestibility. Whether it’s a soft scramble or a poached variant, eggs offer protein without straining the digestive system. This becomes particularly crucial for those with an inflamed colon, where harsher proteins might exacerbate symptoms.
But eggs are more than just protein. They are rich in choline, a nutrient essential for brain health. Plus, the yolk houses various essential nutrients like vitamin D, B-vitamins, and selenium. While the protein feeds the body, these nutrients ensure holistic well-being. (8)
