Drink water daily and during flare ups, drink liquids including grape juice, apple juice, clear broth, lemon popsicle bars, coffee with honey- no creamer. Also use heating pad and Tylenol to control the discomfort. Regular eating plan consists of chicken, some fish and meat, cooked vegetables and sometimes a salad but not on a consistent basis. Again, drink water daily and take one 8oz glass of Metamucil once only on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays. I walk daily and lift weights 3× a week.

@trured
You have a good eating/exercise plan in place!

@trured When I used to have flare ups, I would drink Chamomile and peppermint tea. It was my go too to ease the pain. I did try the diverticulitis tea too. Which was good.
