What Is The Best Diet For One With Diverticuli?
Hi, I am a 45 yr old female. I have had 3 colonoscopies. The Doctor has found polpys in my colon (the kind that turn cancerous). After my last colonoscopy I was told to come back for a repeat in just 1 year. I have also been diagnosed with Diverticuli. My question is just how important is my diet? Please give me ifo on diet. Thank you

Hello,
Increasing fibre in your diet by increasing fruit and vegetable fibre will reduce the chances of developing symptoms due to diverticuli. You should advice foods with High fat and red meat.
Hope this helps
