Probiotics are live microorganisms found in some foods and supplements. They are often discussed for gut health.
Research on probiotics for preventing diverticulitis is still limited and mixed. Foods like yogurt with live cultures can be part of a balanced diet, but talk with your doctor before relying on supplements.
Pin Tip
Look for yogurt labels that mention live and active cultures.
Talk to Your Doctor
