Phase 1
These are the foods that I stick to until things start calming down. See phase 2 section for the first foods, I add back in.
Raw milk is an absolute staple in my diet- especially when I'm trying to get out of a flare! I know not everyone can handle it but it's the thing that is the most soothing thing for my stomach. If you have local Amish in your area, ask them if anyone... is someone and they often have the best prices.

Chicken is an easy to digest protein source that is so comforting when you aren't feeling good! And there's so many ways you can fix it too!

White Rice is one of my safest of safe foods. I prefer jasmine over others as it is not "enriched" with anything. Rice is especially soothing when cooked in bone broth!

Eggs are an amazing protein source and are packed with nutrients! Not everyone can handle eggs though, so be aware of that. I highly recommend finding a local source for eggs, but these pasture raised eggs are good alternative to the standard store e...

Cottage cheese is another great protein source. I like to mix it into my yogurt for a cheesecake flavored treat.

Coffee and caffeine are kind of out of the picture when getting oit of a flare. They are way to irritating! So Dandy blend has become my way of satisfying that coffee itch. It tastes similar enough when made into a "latte" that I feel like im drinkin...

This tea is what I drink if I need a little caffeine but not enough to tear up my stomach. This has some really good ingredients in that lower inflamation. I like to mix it into warmed milk, sweetener with stevia, with some unflavored collagen for a...

These are the foods I go to first, when adding foods back into my diet. And sometimes I will through them into Stage 1 if I'm desperately needing some variety. However, I try to wait to add these in til I know things are starting to calm down.
Blueberries are one of the easiest fruits to digest. Plus they are packed with antioxidents to help bring that inflamation down.

I will on occasion eat ground beef in phase 1. However, I find that chicken is more soothing often times when things are really aggravated. But beef is one of the first things to add back in, especially because it can help keep anemia away.
Marketside Organic Grass-Fed Ground Beef, 85% Lean/15% Fat, 1 lb
Oatmeal is one of the gentleless fibers to add back in. I like it in granola or baked oatmeal. Make sure to go easy on this one at first, as some may find it too full of fiber.
