I have not pinpointed any foods in particular. In fact my diet from pre-diverticular diagnosis and post diagnosis has remained about the same. I limit foods however that have been named by others eg nuts, seeds in breads, etc. However there is many commentators/reserachers who now claim say that the commonly named foods eg strawberry seeds, tomatoe seeds, peas and corn etc have no basis in the science. That this had been disproven.
However due to the last two severe attacks - (last one in April this year) - I am very concious of what I am eating and I am trying to see if there is any co-relation.
I have recently seen a gastroenterologist who has ordered tests to see if I have an intoerance to lactulose,lactose and fructose....this is a breath test. But I got the impression that she feels I have Irritable Bowel as well as diverticular....and I am beginning to accept this. Therefore diet will become more of a focus.
I have to own up to the fact that my 2 identified triggers are stress.....(all episaodes occured out of the blue at highly stressfulk times); and poor bowel health. I get very nervouse if I am becoming constipated/ or have bouts of diarrhoa - tell tale signs for me.
However the pain comes on very quickly - 'like out of the blue' - and is severe and has a temperature which just keeps going up....
my doc has said that apparently if I do not evacuate all in my bowel - faeces can get trapped and becomes infected quickly.
Long answer to a short question - Sorry about that
