Abstract
Despite the lack of evidence for the benefits of dietary restrictions for ulcerative colitis (UC), the majority of patients with UC restrict their diets to avoid relapses. Few studies have examined information resources that affect patients' dietary beliefs or practices, but none have investigated UC patients in clinical remission from Asia. This survey investigated the dietary beliefs, practices, and information resources of Taiwanese UC patients in clinical remission.
