Hi,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for your query!

A low fibre diet is adviced in diverticulitis,Ramen noodles contain wheat floor as one of the main constituent.The fibre contents of wheat floor are as high as 10gram fibres per 100grams of floor,Hence it should not be taken.Products with low fibre content less then 1gram fibre per 100gram should be taken in diverticulitis.
Thanks!
