The information out there is misleading to say the least. I’m confused about the popcorn thing as well. I don’t have problems when I eat it. It seems to be coffee and carbonated drinks

Hi, @dpaul6576 - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Glad you stumbled on this page. Hoping members here will have some useful input for you in your diverticulitis journey. Sorry you are in a second flareup within two months.

What problem or problems do you experience when you have coffee or carbonated drinks, dpaul6576?

You might want to add chocolate to that list. Also consider cutting out heavily (greasy) fried food and very rich desserts. I’m convinced I was once felled by a gigantic ice cream cone!

I had eliminated popcorn years ago. It has now been over 1 year since my Colon Resection and I tried eating some a couple times last month.
No issues whatsoever.
It is crazy all the stuff I eliminated through the years.
After the surgery you ask what can I eat now? And I was told by my colon surgeon anything. They were right.
Before the surgery, remember asking my GI Dr. telling me at some point it will not matter what you eliminate anymore the damage is done. And he was right too.
