5. Red Meats
Contrary to popular belief, red meats actually are very good for you and have a host of health benefits. These include being a great source of protein, a good source of healthy saturated fats that aid with absorption and cholesterol, high content of creatine, PQQ, and coenzyme Q10, and more. Better yet are organ meats!
While this is all very well most of the time, it’s not so good when it comes to ulcerative colitis. The problem is simply that red meats are very hard to digest. They are stringy and tough and hard enough to chew, let alone process in the gut. On top of that, the high-fat content is very slow to be absorbed and it ultimately becomes quite likely that you can experience bowel and digestion issues even if you have no pre-existing condition.
