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

Hi @nealm,

I have found that if I use the low residue diet the majority of the time, I feel much better. For me, the abdominal pain has been reduced from an 8 or 9 most every day down to a 2 or zero on a regular basis. I cannot suggest that it would be that effective for everyone, but in my case, it works very well.
