What to eat at each stage: clear liquids, low-fiber transition, and high-fiber prevention
10. Alcohol and Diverticulitis
In general, individuals experiencing digestive problems should avoid alcohol. Though it is important to note that a 2018 study published in the Hawaii Journal of Medicine and Health found that regular alcohol consumption did not contribute to incidences of diverticular attacks. Still, the medical community suggests that those with diverticulitis moderate their alcohol consumption. Previous studies have shown that drinking too much alcohol can impair the motility of the colon and increase pressure within it. Those who experience digestive discomfort after consuming alcohol should discontinue consumption and contact their physician.
