For years, people with diverticulosis were told to avoid seeds, nuts, and popcorn. Research has not shown that these foods cause diverticulitis.
Many doctors no longer recommend avoiding them for most patients. Because individual experiences vary, talk with your doctor about whether any foods seem to trigger your symptoms.
Pin Tip
Note any foods that seem to bother you and discuss them at your next appointment.
Talk to Your Doctor
This pin shares general health information, not medical advice. Diverticular disease affects people differently, so follow the diet and treatment plan your own doctor recommends.
When to Get Help Quickly
