Question:
Attack of diverticulitis - what should you eat and what should you avoid while it is hurting?
Answers:
I am sorry to hear you are going through that pain!
A diet high in fiber increases stool bulk and prevents constipation, and theoretically may help prevent further diverticular formation or worsening of the diverticular condition.
Some doctors recommend avoiding nuts, corn, and seeds which can plug diverticular openings and cause diverticulitis.
Patients with known diverticular disease that develop unexplained fever, chills or abdominal pain should notify their doctor because of the possibility of the complication of diverticulitis.
