Bulk foods: . Fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, beans, whole grains, lean cuts of meat, fowl and fish, low fat dairy products, unhealthy-processed foods, high in animal saturated fats and processed sugars- the low fiber processed foods cause constipation, stagnation and straining which can make diverticulosis worsen.

High fiber.: Sorry to break it to you, but of you have diverticuli already, then you have diverticulosis. A high fiber diet will lessen the number of diverticuli in your future and will hopefully reduce the episodes of bleeding and infection.
