Idk. I’ve never considered that. Mine have never been problematic that I’m aware of. I only know I have it, due to it being discovered during my colonoscopy in 2020. I asked all my doctors about it and they all said the same thing. So, I haven’t been avoiding seeds, nuts, popcorn, etc. I’m heavy on garden salads lately and my digestion is really good. Not even taking Miralax now. Hope it continues.

Have you noticed any problem with it?

I wish I had a camera on my gut! Seems the only way to really know what's going on. I don't avoid fiber, try to get lots, but I am afraid of anything that has a greater chance of not being fully digested - like corn, seeds and nuts - and might therefore be mechanically difficult to pass. Interestingly, colonoscopies showed diverticulosis for at least the last 13 years. Not sure what catalyzed the switch to diverticulitis. (Covid?) For years, the mainstays of my diet were beans, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, whole grains, fruits, veggies, and fish.
