Anyone out there with both IBS and Diverticulosis and a constipation sufferer.  Despite eating fibre Wholemeal bread veg fruit and porridge I still get constipation (small balls stuck together) it is only taking fybogel each morning that I think ensures I go every day.

Are there any high fibre foods which make constipation worse.    I cannot work out if anything affects the DD or the IBS possibly kidney beans but not sure.  I don't tend to eat spicy food and try to keep low fat but must admit to liking chocolate but try only to

have small amounts.  Having said all that I think anxiety plays a big part n constipation.  My anxiety is bad at the moment due to other problems.  I know everyone is different but it would nice to hear if other sufferers with constipation have any trigger foods in common.  Thanks.

    I don't have IBS.  I have had several scans and they have found in the words of my consultant, significant diverticular!  If this afternoon aching persists I'll go back to Dr I think.

    I may start making my own soups again as Sharon does ... I used to do it but got lazy! sad
