A member asked:

Is there anything i can eat more to prevent appendicitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unfortunately not...: Unfortunately not. There are no randomized, prospective studies to suggest that any particular foods can cause or prevent appendicitis. The best thing to do is visit your closest ER should you have sharp, right lower quadrant abdominal pain with fever/chills or nausea/vomiting.
