Q. Fats requirements for ulcerative colitis?
Usual foods, which contain fats (invisible or inherent fat), are permitted but not fried foods, as they are not easily digested due to liver dysfunction. Thus fats rich in medium chain triglycerides should be consumed as stealorrhoea is predominant in ulcerative colitis. Total fat intake can be kept close to 55-60 g with visible fat intake less than 25-30 g/day.
