@ jeanice, you're very welcome. No diverticulosis, I have stage 3b CKD, diabetes, heart failure, COPD, and other things too boring to mention. Most people our age do have diverticulosis but not all of us have the inflammation of diverticulitis so I still can eat nuts and seeds. CKD patients can have applesauce and apples (I like them peeled and chopped and microwaved a few minutes with a little maple sugar and cinnamon,) tangerines or mandarin oranges, grapes, pineapple but I limit melons even though I like them due to their higher mineral contents. A dietitian told me that I can have a small bite or two of almost anything, I just need to watch how much and watch combinations and keep track of what I'm eating has how much of whatever I need to limit. Sounds harder than it is.
