Option 4 :  Low-residue, low-fiber diet

Explanation: 

• Ulcerative Colitis: 
  • It is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes lesions and inflammation in the inner lining of the large intestine, more specifically ulcerations in the colon and rectal part of the intestine.
• A low-residue diet -- also known as a low-fiber diet -- is essentially a change in food consumption that strategically limits or avoids foods high in fiber. It is called "low-residue" because of the indigestible nature of the dietary fiber.

Do not consume these diets for ulcerative colitis

• Carbohydrate and fat-laden things should not be consumed in this disease, because it takes more time to digest.
• Caffeinated beverages should also be avoided in ulcerative colitis. These substances are soda, cold drinks, tea, coffee etc.
• To recover faster from this disease, we should avoid the consumption of refined wheat, tomato, lemon, red meat, etc.
• If an ulcerative colitis patient consumes things like black pepper, red chili, and green chili, then he should limit their quantity.
• Patients with ulcerative colitis should always avoid using maida, and semolina. Because there is a lot of difficulty in digesting these things and it also affects the large intestine a lot.
