Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this diverticulosis that you have reported. truth is that you do more to help than any other person and a doctor will simply guide you on this. With this opportunity, I will list the recommendation to you.

1. Food high in fiber content, vegetables, fruits, avoid processed food, and drink much water.
2. Regular physical exercise to facilitate movement of food through the intestines.
3. Never withhold the urge to use the toilet.
4. If all the above measures fail and you are constipated, then use a laxative.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above al, keep me updated!
