I totally agree with you Jaydog. Clean organic is the way to go when it comes to all food!!!
btw, after my jpouch surgery(5 years ago) I was told to stay away from all vegetables, which In the beginning almost killed me because before total colectomy I almost was a vegetarian (but did eat fish and chicken). I just love veggies and fruit.
I was told that all my salad and veggie eating could have contributed to ulcerative colitis.
i am just now slowly trying to get back on eating
fruits (bananas, mangos to start with) and very well cooked veggies. I am dying to eat a raw spinach salad with mushrooms, but the fear of diarrhea the next day keeps from from doing that. I can eat an 8 ounce filet mignon with no toilet issue but cannot eat a salad. To me that is crazy, but that is what it is for me. Doc says the longer I have the pouch the better it will get.
also have a question when it comes to VSL. Been taking them for almost three years and noticed that they give me diarrhea. Stopped using them and feel a lot better. Never did have pouchitis.
As always, thank you all!
