I take 3 stool softeners everyday and eat a high fiber diet. I do know that chocolate ( my favorite food) is very binding and avoid as much as possible.
But everyday is hit or miss since my surgery.

Chocolate (as well as other caffeine products can be a problem with diverticulitis). I can sometimes have it in small amounts, but not every day.

Have you found any other foods that are problematic?
