I'm learning about Low-FODMAP dieting, which is predominantly referred to in reference to Irritable Bowel Syndrome. But the gas/pressure/bloating reduction benefits of it seems like it would benefit those prone to diverticulitis; either 1) during recovery from a flare-up, 2) as a continuing diet regimen, and/or 3) to identify foods that cause gas/pressure/bloating (via the process of eliminating high-FODMAP foods or categories and then individually adding them back in). I'm curious if anyone has found research on or has experience with using this for diverticulitis.

After the two episodes I had yes I did follow low fodmap for about a month each time then gradually increased other foods making a note of what agreed with me or not! I've learnt certain foods should be avoided by me!
I take “DICYCLOMINE (dye SYE kloe meen) treats irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It works by relaxing the muscles of your stomach and bowel, which reduces cramping. It belongs to a group of medications called antispasmodics.“

After using the low FodMaps diet, which foods did you decide were triggers for you?
Are you able to control things well now know which foods are triggers for you? Thank you.

I've had problems with diverticulitis for many years, after an incident and being treated, my docs promote a low residue diet, until you are back to normal. As for seeds and berries it depends on the state of your bowel. I use that as a guide. I cannot not eat salad or any uncooked vegetables. I think you learn what's right for you as you go along. Good luck!

Im new to this disease (3 X since April 2024) and still learning about the FODMAP diet. I'm doing my research because doctors aren't much help and just say follow a bland diet and gradually increase your fiber. I'm learning that eating things like applesauce, bananas, broth, pudding and foods that are easy to digest are best during the flare or inflammation phase. My dr never said do a liquid diet my most recent diagnosis but i wasn't eating much at all the 2 days prior to that and was nauseous. I'm a week and 3 days upon completing my antibiotics and have been eating nothing fried, greasy, spicy, no nuts, seeds, raw veggies or raw apples, berries etc. My current diet is eggs, sourdough or low fiber bread, white potato no skin, pasta noodles either cheese like parmesan or similar, chicken breast not fried /no skin, cottage cheese, yogurt, baked fish, waffles or pancakes, cream of wheat. I avoid oatmeal, salad, fried foods, pickles, spag or pizza sauce, spicy foods, cabbage, cole slaw, etc. Keep track of what foods bother you and try to go from there. Good luck! 🙂
I have had ibsd, radiation damage to pelvis, c.diff and fecal incontinence and I recently found an old doctor report from a file I obtained, which said:
"small area diverticular disease 20-30 cm from anal verge (2008) colonoscopy results"
but no one told me about it, not this gastro nor my family dr. they both said results good: could this have been causing diarrhea and stomach pain all these years
still upsets me that I wasnt told, and its now 2021! SORRY IF WRONG PLACE ON SITE but hard to find years/dates and latests posts for me.... thanks, J.
I can totally relate. The inpatient doctors during my 4 days of hospitalization merely diagnosed me and treated me. I'm thankful for their treatment. But they never took steps to help me understand diverticulitis. I had to do my own research and followed up with my PCP, who referred me to a dietician to help me work on my diet plan. Ironically, I'm the one who advocated to be referred to a dietician.
