    I have suffered from diverticulitis for 4 years now.  I go to the loo first thing in the morning  very urgently, usually twice about 4 minutes between.  For the last 6 months my stools have been extremely loose and I have suffered from very minor accidents  later on in the day.  I have never suffered from constipation.  High fibre foods are bad for me and soluble fibre make no difference, any ideas?

      Hi Lyn

      I too have problems with high fibre food. I am pretty clueless when it comes to what causes me problems no 2 days are the same.

      I think there is lots of info on here regarding foods, but apologies as I don't have any advice to give on this.
