Thank you for your reply. I have had several trips to emergency with regards to diverticulosis flares. I always deal with severe constipation and found that a diet of 24 g of fibre recommended for my age(74) is too much. Trying to find a balance plus my 8 cups of water is challenging. Restorolax also used on a daily basis. No dairy and no white bread etc also part of my diet. It’s reassuring to know the redundant colon is not a contributing factor. Any suggestions are so welcome.
