What can you eat when your intestines are inflamed?
If you’re wondering what to eat when your intestines are inflamed, the answer isn’t what you may expect… Assuming your intestines are inflamed enough to cause you some negative digestive symptoms that can range from acid reflux, cramping, bathroom issues, bloating and more, there is a way to provide symptom relief relatively quickly.
The easiest way to reduce intestinal inflammation is a 48 hour liquid diet.
- No solid food whatsoever
- Drink only liquids you can see through (water, tea, light juice)
This provides a break for your digestive tract without food forcing digestive movements and stomach acid washing through your gut. You also need to find out about symptoms of a bad digestive system.
Now… This is a good fix for temporary relief, however long term relief from inflamed intestines is possible as well.
The program called Pain Free Foods is available for free and outlines exactly what you can eat when your intestines are inflamed. The truth is after you are feeling better after a liquid diet, you transition to solid foods slowly and avoid some hard to digest foods, but then you can eat almost every food you are accustomed to.
There are a few foods that cause ongoing inflamed intestines that you must avoid permanently. These are some unexpected foods that can cause digestive problems.
Yogurt (coconut yogurt including probiotics is ok. - Milk (all varieties, goat, cow, fresh, whole, raw and all fat or lactose content).
- Nut/seed butters (including peanut butter). Homemade, no sugar 2 TBS/ day ok.
- Cottage cheese
- Sour cream
- Nutritional drinks like boost and ensure and most weight gain/loss drinks.

Apart from these trigger foods, you can eat everything you want when your intestines are inflamed, with an exception. You must time your meals not to eat the wrong nutrients together in one particular sitting.
