Can i drink alcohol with having diverticulis?

Best not to: I would not advise drinking alcohol while having diverticulitis, as alcohol suppresses immune system, thins the blood which could worsen bleeding, and alcohol also interferes with some antibiotics. If you mean diverticulosis, which is having the pockets without pain or infection, then moderate alcohol consumption is fine (2 drinks a day for men, and 1 drink a day or less for women).

Shouldn't hurt.: Drinking alcohol should not have any relevance as far as your diverticuli. Just don't drink too much, anyway.
