Here I am, at the Dr's. Again.

I am so frustrated that no matter what type of diet I try, I seem to always end up back at the dr for diverticulitis. I just don't know what to do at this point. High fiber, low fiber, no fiber...nothing works. I make all my own food, so I know what is in it. I airfry everything I possibly can to avoid as many fats as possible.

What else can I do? 😓

I have diverticulosis too. I pretty much stick to eating the same stuff. I find that roasted sweet potatoes and tuna are the easiest on me. I’ve had to cut a lot of stuff out of my diet.

Maybe we could brainstorm together if you’re interested

Also, when you have the diverticulitis flareups, you’re supposed to have no to low fibre but most other days when you’re not going through the diverticulitis flareup you’re supposed to have high fibre diet

@Jenny1234 I am willing to take any suggestionsat this point. The dr said that it was probably time to consider surgery. She is probably right. I'm going to have a colonoscopy to see what the next step are.

@FoxyQueen that’s good news you’ll have the colonoscopy.

As far as food is concerned what do you normally eat/drink? Feel free to PM me anytime.

@Jenny1234 I try to keep a high fiber diet through the work week and I give myself a break on the weekends. I usually try to add spinach or kale to what I make for work and I bake my own bread with chickpea flour. I really try to remain fiber conscious.

@FoxyQueen it’s really hard to get enough fibre through food. You should take psyllium husk every day. It’s just like Metamucil which you could also take
