High fiber diet made me 100% worse, this is a blanket statement made by doctors that don't really know anything

This "new info" by doctors that people with diverticulitis can eat seeds, nuts and popcorn is based on ONE study in 1970 and is dangerously wrong. Every incidence of diverticulitis I've had over 25 years can be directly traced back to ingesting one of these items.

They found popcorn seeds in me and alot of them. I was awake the entire procedure very cool. Great Doctor and staff at the Cleveland Clinic Thanks.

My heart always burns at the time of sleep and I think it has became imperative to change the things.

I have had diverticulitis 7x. Next year I plan to have about a foot of my colon removed to rid this issue. I had to have 2 course of antibiotics this last time to rid the infection and while they say high fiber, nuts, etc. Well, not sure about that. Bottom line I don't think they really know and it keeps changing. I do know that if I eat too many nuts the problem comes back.

Till 2018, there were no chest burns/ chest pain but as soon as 2018 arrived, I started suffering from Chest burns and I started scolding Western Countries. It was India's strategy so that I can start hating Western World so that Indian Politicians, Business Lobbies can make their relationship cordial pointing at me to emphasize how bad I am so that they can earn Dollors, Pounds, Euros and other foreign currencies.
In this holy work, Indian Government utilised all resources such as Social Engineers, People in Country so that they can prove me Villain in the eyes of Western World.
