I have a condition called diverticulosis. It seems every Spring I get into trouble with it. I've already cut out lettuce, apples, peanuts and cabbage. Well, first of all you are cutting out the very foods you should be eating. You need a high fiber diet, not a low fiber diet.
Diverticulosis is a disease where pockets form in the large intestine.
These abnormal pockets usually form because of a diet that is too low in fiber. Since your gastrointestinal tract is not used to a high fiber diet, I would suggest that you start slowly. Bran is probably the most important part of this high fiber diet. It swells up and absorbs water and passes through your body undigested. Bran can be sprinkled on your regular bowl of hot or cold cereal.
