Carrying excess weight, especially around the waist, has been associated with a higher risk of diverticulitis.
Gradual weight loss through balanced eating and regular activity can support overall digestive health. Your doctor or a registered dietitian can help create a safe plan.
Pin Tip
Aim for steady progress rather than rapid weight loss.
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
