Yes: Your doctor wants you to rest your bowels by eating food that is easy to digest and contains a lot of fibers. You should be ok by doing it.

Low fiber: Typically it is recommended to stick to a low fiber diet during and after an attack of diverticulitis, but this is only a recommendation. Once healed, a high fiber diet is beneficial.
