@maine I got the diverticulitis diagnosis after a colonoscopy. I asked the doctor then what to do about it and he told me to eat a lot of fiber. I LOL and told him I was Mexican/Italian and always have eaten more fiber than most. Curiously, my MD never mentioned it to me.
I can’t say the HU has any effect on my system but for heartburn and that is solved with acid reducer and eating an early evening meal.
So far at least tomatoes are OK. I find myself eating a lot more stir fries also. Rice is very easy on the stomach but I try to stick to brown rice.
Old age is just a minefield, I think, when it comes to your gut and aches and pains. I would love to blame the HU but, for me, the fact is it’s a lot of factors coming together. I have just decided the upside of HU is worth it.
