What foods to eat and avoid to help with diverticulitis and diverticulosis.
Luckily, many people with diverticulosis don’t suffer symptoms.
However, diverticulitis, a flare-up of diverticulosis, is much more serious and requires medical treatment.
A clear liquid diet is very restricted and designed to give your digestive system a rest.
You should not progress yourself through this diet without your doctor’s guidance.
And always be sure to drink plenty of fluids.
This can help prevent the formation of more diverticula because your stool will be softer and more bulky.
The Bottom Line
Diverticulitis is inflammation of the diverticulum of the colon.
