Fiber is fine , things like peeled pears apples and what settles me the most is mash. When I have an episode I stay with my mum, who make a lot of plainly cooked fish and mash, mangoes and oats.Basically she'll probably not have much of an appetitite, so small snacks or meals, I often start with meal replacements, hopefully she,ll see a dietition and must keep an eye on iron levels especially if she's lost blood.You can manage the condition, I was in hospital 8 weeks ago with massive complications, infected ruptured bowel, I never felt I would be well again but the past weekend I went to the seaside and walked along the cliffs with my kids,with the aid of painkillers.there are societies you can join[one where you get a special key to let you in all disabled loos] all the best she will be a bit down, its great she has someone to care for her, hope she's better soon ,lolxx hi, sorry to hear your partner is so ill, I have had colitis for 9 years and can give you the advice that has helped me, I now see a specialist for whom I am a bit of a guinea pig to try new treatments,I presume she will be on steroids and possibly antibiotics which can also make you feel yuk.
