Q: what dietary precautions should one with esophogeal diverticula condition follow to avoid worsening the condition ?

: If you're only experiencing minor symptoms, follow a bland diet, chew food very thoroughly and drink plenty of water after meals. If symptoms are very problematic, consult a gastroenterologist who can treat the diverticulum endoscopically. If this isn't feasible, consult a thoracic surgeon who can remove the pouch definitively.
