Newly diagnosed with diverticulitis. I am about 2 weeks out from my first attack. I want to start trying to figure out what might have caused the attack. I am leery to eat much at all for fear of it all flaring up again. My question is this, how will I know what is causing my symptoms? Will it be something i ate 2 days or 20 mins ago? How long after eating something will you know if it is that something that is causing the flare?
