What should i eat less and more of if i've been diagnosed with diverticulous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: Asymptomatic diverticulosis is treated with a high fiber diet or fiber supplements like metamucil or benefiber, 1-2 tablespoonful twice a day. This might give you a lot of gas that will go away as your colon adjusts which may take a few weeks. Establish regular bowel habits. Don't ignore the call of nature. Drink a lot of water. Read labels of food for fiber content. A dietician is ok to see.
