Anyone been diagnosed with Diverticulitis?

[Fall1]

I am wondering if anyone out there has been diagnosed with Diverticulitis and would like to give me some tips....my DH was recently diagnosed and we are trying to figure out what we can do to prevent future attacks. Thanks.

I don't have it, but from what I understand, its all about what you eat. My BIL has it and drinks Fiberall daily. I also know you should avoid popcorn and nuts, as they can get stuck in the pockets. I would approach it from the dietary perspective and start there.

My brother has it and he has to be very, very careful of what he eats. I agree with going with the dietary strategy first.

Here is a link that explains what it is http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/diverticulosis/index.htm

My grandmother had this. She had to be careful about what she ate.
