Diverticulitis Foods


Looking for a quick fix list of foods to solve Diverticulitis issues?

Unfortunately it isn't that simple.  The solution is complex and usually involves lifestyle changes as well as avoiding specific food groups. That is why we developed our End Diverticulitis Kit,  it helps you to understand the changes in diet and lifestyle that you can do to help relieve the problem.

HOWEVER!
There are certain foods that seem to cause more trouble than others.

In order to try and narrow down a list of foods that should be avoided,  we embarked on a survey of our newsletter readers.  The readers of our newsletter are people that are suffering from this nasty disease, and we thought that these people were most qualified to offer advice about what to avoid.

So what was the outcome?
Well there are a few standout favorites that you should avoid in order to help get things under control. But every item on our list caused trouble for some, and not others.

 What does this mean?
It means that the foods that cause you trouble may be personal, ie specific to just you.  So even if someone says you cannot eat a certain foos, you may infact be able to.  And vice versa,  if someone says you can eat it,  it may cause you trouble.

There were a few foods that got mention time and time again.
TOP 5 that caused trouble.  (the complete survey list is in the End Diverticulitis Kit ).

  • Stress,   not a food I know,  but it was a standout winner to cause problems.  Avoid Stress
  • Nuts,  not quite so clear cut.  More than 50% of people said nuts caused problems.  New thinking says nuts shouldn't matter, however they rated highly as a problem from our survey.
  • Sesame Seeds, avoid buns with sesame seeds on them
  • Corn,  (and corn products), this also rated very highly, avoid corn and corn products.
  • Chile Peppers,  generally spicy foods, peppers and chiles also rated very highly.

As mentioned previously it is not a given that the foods above will cause you trouble. The foods mentioned above are direct results from the survey of our newsletter readers.  So use it as advice in managing Diverticulitis.

The TOP 5 that did not cause trouble were,

  • Chicken
  • Skinless Potatoes
  • Carrots
  • Fish
  • Bananas

Again, the above nay not agree with you,  however the foods listed above were rated the "safest" by our newsletter readers.

In order to completely manage Diverticulitis and Diverticulosis you will need to manage your whole diet and learn the three main diets and when to use them.

  • High fiber
  • Low fiber
  • No fiber

We talk about that a lot more in other sections,  check out the Diet links.

You also should consider things like, movement, exercise,  water intake, supplements etc.  There are a lot of things that can help,  but the main one is understanding fiber in your diet,  how much to have and when to have it.
