A member asked:
I have untreated diverticulitis, and urogenital problems due to 3rd/4th degree episiotomies. no insurance, can i use fiber in the meantime?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally yes: Increasing your fiber and water intake is very appropriate with diverticulosis/itis. Not knowing what your other urogenital problems are I am not sure how to answer in relation to those issues.
