    "Susan, who has ulcerative colitis, said: “On a morning you could have toast, a hard boiled egg, or something in sauce. There was no bacon. For breakfast there was mozzarella and sliced tomatoes. There was no hot bacon or sausage.”

    Oh no Mozarella and tomatoes? Atrocious. Funny thing is fatty and processed foods like bacons and sausage are in the avoid list for people for ulcerative colitis (so is dairy to be fair but that is more case specific I think).

      If you have a medical condition that requires a special diet… you have no option that planning ahead, you cannot expect the world to be ready for any possible medical requirement

      Just reading those three words in that order, “mozzarella and tomatoes” just made me crave a Caprese salad.

      So fucking good. What kind of loser whines about being served that godly combination of foods?

      Idk, I have UC and the things she mentioned are fine for me. I struggle with scratchy fibrous foods: whole grains, seeds, fruit skins, raw veggies. I don’t have an issue with bacon or fat in general.

        Yeah seems pretty person specific, where I looked it says soluble fibers are fine, dairy is bad if you are lactose intolerant, fatty foods are bad during flare ups.

      I have a disease that desires trash food too, it’s called shame, not ulcerative colitis. I think she got those mixed up.
