8. Flaxseed Meal

Diverticulitis can make trips to the bathroom painful. Stool softeners can help, but they should not be taken regularly and you will need something more regular to help the process. Flaxseeds are rich in fiber and polyunsaturated fatty acids that help to bulk stool better and move it through faster. A teaspoon of flaxseed meal in your yogurt or breakfast cereal is the quickest way to consistently integrate essential fatty acids in your diet.
