According to one study, up to 40% of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis, reported an improvement in symptoms while on a gluten-free diet.

Over 70% of people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) believe specific foods worsen their symptoms. While diet doesn't cause or cure IBD, certain dietary components can act as triggers. So, do certain foods trigger IBD, and what can you do to manage your diet effectively during both remission and flare-ups?

According to a 2025 meta-analysis, regular intake of sweetened beverages is associated with an increased risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease.
