Just in the last few weeks I’ve come out with a few on this similar theme of bowel health:
• Diet and Hiatal Hernia (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diet-and-hiatal-hernia)
• How Many Bowel Movements Should You Have Every Day? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-many-bowel-movements-should-you-have-every-day)
• Should You Sit, Squat, or Lean During a Bowel Movement? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/should-you-sit-squat-or-lean-during a-bowel-movement)

What if your doctor tells you that you shouldn’t eat healthy foods like nuts and popcorn because of your diverticulosis? Share with them my video Diverticulosis & Nuts (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diverticulosis-nuts/).

Sorry for the cliff-hanger, but I’m really trying to be good about limiting how long my videos get. Stay tuned for Does Fiber Really Prevent Diverticulosis?

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/diverticulosis-when-our-most-common-gut-disorder-hardly-existed and he'll try to answer it!
