I just got diagnosed with Diverticulitis. Does anyone have any solid advice on how to deal with this disease?

I am miserable!

Stop eating nuts and seeds. It irritates you

@Mk8155 Does that include the nut milks? Or just the actual seeds and nuts?

Tell my wife and doctor that. It triggers it for many of you read up on it @Miklee02

@Mk8155 yeah I had it for years and stayed away from all that food my doctor said your own stool can cause an infection in the pockets..... I had resection surgery 3 years ago to remove the bad part of my colon...... a foot they took out
I now live a normal life and have not had a problem since

@Miklee02 Interesting, is that a common solution? Or only for especially serious cases?

@ninalanyon I had a serious case.... infection wouldn’t stay away
Even ended up in hospital with a perforation in my bowel..... I was one sick girl 😔

@Mk8155 that used to be the suggestion, but, medicine now says the opposite.
