12 Inflammatory Bowel Disease Diet Foods That Ease Symptoms

7. Eggs

Eggs are a compact, usually well-tolerated source of complete protein and important micronutrients. Soft-cooked formats—poached, soft-boiled, or lightly scrambled—are gentler on a sensitive gut than fried or heavily spiced egg dishes. An egg-based dosa or a soft omelette with minimal oil and chopped, well-cooked vegetables can be a simple meal that’s easy to digest and adaptable to an Indian pantry. If you suspect an egg allergy or notice post-meal symptoms, avoid eggs until you check with a clinician. For those with poor appetite, try a small, soft-boiled egg with plain toast or mashed into khichdi for added protein without strong seasonings. Eggs also fit well into recovery diets because they’re quick to prepare and portion easily. (Source: Dietitian guidance)
