I’m so grateful for your input. Right now, I’m struggling to figure out what to eat. I have IBS as well. So they want increased fiber. But too much fiber makes me go to bathroom 9 times in a row. I need carbs to be normal. Is it normal that a bowel movement is loose for a while? Or should it be solid after two weeks? My GI told me very little. When I tried to ask questions, he shoved me out to hurry me along.

Hi, Lois,
I'm new to the group. I have the same problem as you. Had an acute attack of diverticulits with perforation and abscess. I was on a clear liquid diet for a week. I have recently move up to soft foods. My abdomen is swollen and painful with the most pain in my lower back.
I have IBS and try to stick to a low fodmap diet. Most high fiber diets are high fodmap. At this point, I don't know what to eat anymore. I would like to stick with low fodmap, but isn't a high fiber diet recommended for diverticulosis so it doesn't go into diverticulitis?
