Diverticular disease and food: common questions
Dietary advice depends on whether you are well or recovering from diverticulitis.
Should I eat a high-fibre diet during a flare-up?
Not necessarily. During acute diverticulitis, your doctor may recommend a temporary lower-fibre or liquid diet. Follow their advice, then reintroduce fibre as recovery allows. Do not use a long-term restrictive diet without guidance.
What should I eat when I am well?
A varied diet with fibre from whole grains, vegetables, fruit and legumes can support bowel function. Increase fibre gradually and drink enough fluid. Your dietitian can adapt choices to your tolerance and health needs.
When should I seek medical care?
Seek prompt medical care for severe abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, blood in your stool or feeling very unwell. A recipe book cannot assess or treat an acute episode.
