@berekann Don't know about using seeds. I have had 2 very serious diverticulitis episodes, in which I passed out from the pain on the floor all alone. Seeds might get into the pockets of the colon and cause an infection so I doubt I would want to try that. I do take probiotics daily.

@phxbarb the chia seeds swell up several times and become mushy and gel together. (There are recipes for making pudding with them!)(instead of eggs!) I don't think they would be a concern for divert.

@phxbarb that would certainly be a concern. Soaking makes the seeds mucilaginous, but in your case, I’d avoid them. We each know our own bodies best!
