Question: is spicy food bad for ulcerative colitis?
Answer: Spicy foods, hot sauces, and pepper can cause diarrhea in many people, and in someone with ulcerative colitis experiencing a flare spicy hot foods may trigger or worsen symptoms. Gluten, found in wheat, rye, barley, and some oats, can trigger symptoms similar to ulcerative colitis in people who have gluten sensitivity.
