I appreciate you sharing your journey with diverticulitis. It certainly has been a challenging time for you. I admire your ability to adjust your diet and lifestyle to accommodate these changes.

My diverticulitis has changed over the years as well. At one time, it was just in the sigmoid colon but now throughout the entire colon. A low-residue diet has worked well for me along with stool softeners. It is good to find ways to adapt to these physical changes!

I hope that this continues to heal, and you begin to feel better. Will you post again with updates?

Can you share what you mean by low residue diet please. What works for you?

Hi.
My diverticulitis episodes have affected different areas of my entire colon also. I am still trying to figure out my triggers. I wish there was a list of the most guilty foods that cause people to have flare ups.
Thanks for the info on the low residue/low fiber diet.
Are you strictly on this low residue diet, or only when you have an episode?
Thanks
Neal
