The Best Diverticulosis Diet
November 1, 2009 on 8:57 am | By admin | In HealthThe best diet for a person who has diverticulosis is one that is rich in fiber. This is to keep the symptoms of diverticulosis under control – and possibly away completely. The best foods to eat are those rich in fiber, such as whole wheat, whole grain cereal, legumes, fruits, and bran. Instead of eating grains, pastas or bread that is made with white flour, eat it with whole wheat flour. Some other good things to include are peanut (or other nut) butter, beans, peas and green vegetables of all types. In order to increase fiber in dairy, add fresh fruit, flax seed or bran. Diverticulosis foods to avoid include white flour, grains and pasta, and anything that is hard or difficult-to-digest, such as nuts, corn, or seeds.
