9. Boost Your UC Diet with Blueberries
Blueberries are a delicious and nutritious addition to a UC-friendly diet, offering a wealth of health benefits. These small berries are packed with antioxidants, which can help combat inflammation and support overall gut health.
Additionally, blueberries are a good source of soluble fiber, which can help regulate bowel movements and alleviate diarrhea. Their low acidity levels also make them less likely to irritate the digestive system during flare-ups.
To incorporate blueberries into your diet, try adding them to oatmeal, yogurt, or smoothies, or enjoy them on their own as a snack. If fresh blueberries are not available, opt for frozen varieties, which can be just as nutritious. As always, monitor your body’s response to blueberries and adjust your intake as needed. (9)
