What is the best diet for diverticulitis?

In this video, Dr Lisa Das explores the best diet for those suffering from diverticulitis and which healthy lifestyle measures we can adopt to help reduce our incidence of the disease.

I have been diagnosed with diverticulitis. It flares up when I eat dairy products. I quit all dairy for six months. Also no alcohol. I lost weight and had no more abdominal pain on my left side.

Just shows she doesn't know shit about diverticulitis. Eating too much salad flairs mine. Like most topics, these "experts" just have opinions on the matter...mostly based on old wives tales taught to them by old school professors. Isn't it about time someone applies some modern research? Tired of all the same old conflicting opinions that have no actual research behind them. My doctors can't even connect the dots between my diverticulitis and my autoimune issues. Seems obvious to me that diverticulitis and intestinal permiability go hand in hand.

When I was admitted to the hospital years ago with extreme case of diverticulitis I was given Pepto Bismol. That was it. Did the trick. So when I have pain in my left side or low across the front, I take the PM tablets, it helps me. What seems to set mine off is acid like fruits or vinegar dressing on my salads.

I'm tired of people categorizing diverticulitis as people who live an unhealthy lifestyle and diet. I have been a pescatarian for years. I don't smoke don't drink and get frequent exercise. So stop!

My BMI is ok, I am vegetarian, eat my 5 a day and fibre, drink lots of water. Still ended up in hosp with this!

My mother suffers with this and it’s getting to where she gets flare ups often no matter what she eats.

Anyone have a lot of stomach noises with their diverticulitis? My stomach sounds crazy rn and rumbles. But not much pain.

Am just now in hospital having been diagnosed with diverticulitis for the first time

[marianlavin]

I weigh 105 pounds. I was eating a vegan diet and exercising every day and had an acute attack that sent me to the hospital. I was eating raw vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower, kale every day, no dairy or meat; so what happened to me? I don't smoke or drink alcohol. So it is not unhealthy diet. I read one person eats a steak and some fruit every day and he is better. I feel like none of this information is helpful. I am on mega antibiotics right now and I tried so hard to be healthy.

When my diverticulitis plays up I get bad knee pain and pain in my joints-- I have to rest for days and take pain meds

Thank you for not telling us anything.

OMG! I know that chronic discomfort is part of diverticulitis, but I never had it so bad to be admitted to the ER. Usually my left side feels tender and when it increases to discomfort, I drink more liquids and decrease solid food intake. Is that right?

[CaritaXoXo]
