Learn what to cut from your diet and routine to keep diverticulosis under control.
Some otherwise healthy foods can still create problems because they increase gas in the digestive system. The extra pressure can worsen discomfort in people with diverticulosis.
Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, and garlic are frequent culprits. Beans, lentils, and other legumes are also high in fermentable fiber, which can lead to bloating. Even carbonated drinks can add air to the digestive tract.
Limiting these foods during flare-ups or introducing them in small amounts can help you find your personal tolerance level.
