Almond Milk
Almond milk is a lactose-free alternative to cow’s milk, making it suitable for those with UC who also have lactose intolerance. It’s low in fat and can be fortified with vitamins and minerals, offering a nutritious option that’s gentle on the gut.
Choosing unsweetened almond milk is crucial to avoid added sugars. It can be used in smoothies, oatmeal, or simply enjoyed on its own, providing a versatile, gut-friendly beverage.
Cooked Carrots
Cooked carrots are soft, making them easy to digest, and are packed with vitamin A, which supports immune function and vision. The cooking process breaks down their fibrous structure, making it easier for a sensitive digestive system to handle.
Carrots also contain antioxidants that can help reduce inflammation in the body, including the gut. They can be pureed into soups or lightly steamed as a side dish, offering a nutritious and gentle option for those with UC.
