Diverticulitis and constipation

I had MRI done this past June that indicates Diverticulitis. I've been having flare ups lately and liquid diet seems to quell the flares, but I have to admit that it is scary to me since I've not experienced this before but I am getting older and sometimes these are things that hit you that you've not experienced before. I know my God has not given me a spirit of fear so while attempting to do the right things naturally to help me with these flare ups, I continue to pray and ask for healing, health, and guidance in this journey. Thanks for listening!

Hello @trured and welcome to Mayo Connect. I do understand what you mean about getting older. Aging does bring about more aches, pains, and digestive tract problems. I see that a liquid diet helps to quell the flare-ups. What type of eating plan do you follow on a regular basis? Do you drink water and have some exercise plan in place?
