The irritable bowel syndrom diet might be best if you do not have problem with diarrhea. There are lots of cookbooks for that, too.

Drink lots & lots of water. Avoid alcohol & caffeine like the plague as they make intestines work more...don't need that! Dairy is a caution. Use lactose removed milk, or goats milk. They digest better. Vanilla soya milk soothes my belly. Yogurt is good as it puts "friendly" bacteria back into your body. Avoid all fried foods. Make homemashed potatoes, not the junky package stuff, or fries, or potatoes fried in any way. I do well on homemashed potatoes & eat a little more of them, than your other vegetables. Zuchinni is good, carrots, turnip & sweet potato. A lot of the green vegetables can be a problem if it is acting up.

Two sources of friendly bacteria that I can recommend are Dr. Ohhira's professional grade probiotic and our super green food formula.
I have found that fermented dairy products such as kefir and yogurt do not tend to produce the same positive results that fermented plant products do. This is most likely because people with ulcerative colitis simply do not have much capacity to efficiently digest animal protein, even if the animal protein in question is from a clean and organic source.

Be careful not to eat a lot of raw plant foods, especially during flare ups.
In the midst of a flare up, it is best to eat mainly soft, cooked plant foods, the best ones being steamed zucchini, porridge made with white rice, and potato-based soups.
Ulcerative colitis is strongly associated with immune system dysfunction. An adequate blood level of Vitamin D is necessary to optimally support a healthy immune system. Vitamin D can be obtained from healthy exposure to the sun. It can also be obtained from healthy food sources such as wild salmon, organic eggs, a high quality source of cod liver oil, and sardines.
Avoid fats and oils that are high in omega-6 fatty acids.
Fats and oils that are high in omega-6 fatty acids can contribute to inflammation throughout the body, including in the colon. The worst offenders are oils made out of the following plants: safflower, corn, cottonseed, and sunflower. Sesame oil and peanut oil are also high in omega-6 fatty acids and should be used sparingly.
Regularly eat foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
I have found that many people with ulcerative colitis, especially those in the midst of a flare up, cannot tolerate cooked flesh meats.
The best source of animal-based omega-3 fatty acids that I know of is cod liver oil. High quality cod liver oil is an excellent source of two omega-3 fatty acids - DHA and EPA - that can help to decrease inflammation throughout the body, and is typically well tolerated by people with ulcerative colitis.
I have found that it is best for people with ulcerative colitis to take approximately 1 teaspoon per 50 pounds of body weight per day, before or with a meal.
Raw wild salmon and raw organic eggs are also good sources of omega-3 fatty acids and are surprisingly well tolerated by people with ulcerative colitis.
Avoid Sugar and refined carbohydrates.
Sugar and refined carbohydrates can cause harmful changes to the balance of bacteria that live in the digestive tract. Put another way, regularly eating Sugar and refined carbohydrates can take away the benefits of ingesting friendly bacteria, which we have already identified as an essential key to treating ulcerative colitis through natural means.
gar and refined carbohydrates can also create an elevated blood insulin level, which by itself, can contribute to inflammation throughout the body, including within the digestive tract.
Most importantly, give careful consideration to chronic emotional stressors. Emotional stress exacts a heavy toll on the digestive tract.
