Regular physical activity supports healthy digestion and has been linked with a lower risk of diverticulitis.

Walking, swimming, cycling, and other moderate activities help keep the digestive system moving. Choose activities you enjoy and can do consistently.

Pin Tip

Start with short daily walks and build up gradually with your doctor’s approval.

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

Seek prompt medical care for severe or worsening abdominal pain, fever, persistent vomiting, rectal bleeding, or being unable to keep fluids down. Call 911 for severe pain with signs of an emergency.

Quick Reminder

Keep a simple food and symptom journal. Patterns can help you and your doctor make better decisions.
