Many people with diverticulosis live full, active lives with few or no problems.

Healthy eating, regular exercise, staying hydrated, and routine checkups help keep symptoms under control. Knowing the warning signs allows you to act quickly if a flare begins.

Pin Tip

Keep your doctor’s contact information and after hours instructions handy.

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.
