Go the Yahoo homepage and type in ';colitis recipes'; and you'll get ten links on the first page alone for recipes suitable for someone with colitis and a whole handful of other ailments.
I don't know if this will work for colitis, but it seems to fit what you wrote.
Get a fairly lean cut of meat (inexpensive is fine, because of how it'll be cooked) and cut into 1/2-serving-sized pieces. Coat with lightly seasoned flour (salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder) and brown over medium-high heat in a well-sprayed (non-stick pan spray) or lightly greased skillet. Turn to brown both sides well. Once the meat is all nicely browned, remove the pan from the heat and carefully add about 2-3 cups water. Reduce heat to medium-low and return pan to heat. Bring to a simmer and cover. Simmer 45 minutes, stirring about halfway through. Add a little more water if it seems to be boiling dry.
Serve with rice or mashed potatoes. This stuff (simmered steak, we call it) keeps well for up to a week, so I make it ahead on an evening when I do have a little time; I can then pop it into the microwave and enjoy it again on another evening when I'm rushed.
