Foods To Eat and Avoid With Diverticulitis

[@colindakers113]

So much talk but no mention of starting at the beginning of the digestive journey….properly chewing your food to begin with.

[@helenhull8412]

Good information especially work out your food intolerances. I have had diverticuli for many years and several bouts of diverticulitis. Reducing plant foods, particularly leaves and flowers eg broccoli, cauliflower, other brassicas, spinach etc as well as many fruits and all grains reduced my inflammation. I can immediately tell now when my gut is inflamed…discomfort, pain, stool changes etc. Small amount of gluten free oats the other day caused a 3 day upset 😮

Bit do you have diverticulitis? Sounds like something else.

[@debbietampasheher3682]

I would love a deeper dive into fiber. I had diverticulitis in 2017. Worst pain of my life except for a migraine I had a few years earlier where I actually thought death would be better 😢 And I've given birth which hurt so much. Any way, I have been eating mostly whole food plant based since 2017 and haven't had a diverticulitis attack since. But I also quit smoking in 2020. Maybe it's both. I'm not Inuit heritage and also had high cholesterol in 2017. I didn't remember how high but I was prescribed statins I never took because I thought I could control with diet. I've also been told by every doctor I've been to since that I need to avoid nuts and seeds which I ignored because I knew the new research showed no connection with diverticulitis. My total cholesterol is way low.. 150. I would love an in depth dive into fiber and who is benefitted and who is not

Your posts are very informative and I like them very much, we look forward to more posts from you.

[@Joe_Leech]

We appreciate you!

[@stircspew]

Thank you very much for your valuable information

[@Joe_Leech]

You are most welcome

[@monsiebabe2817]

Great informative and very easy to follow video. Thank you. I have IBS as well as diverticulosis. Tomato pips were found in the pouches of my diverticulitis because I used to eat them constantly. I recently found that salads, coleslaw and uncooked veg irritate and cause acid reflux. 🙁. I'm not enjoying food anymore but have found relief in Slippery Elm Root and freshly squeezed celery juice. Please can you do the roughage video and try to include these two possible treatments. I'm curious if they can cause harm.

[@victoriarogers387]

Hi, thanks for that. I have DD, IBD, NAFLD, and I truly belive that I am where I am at 47 because of ignoring what my body says it is sensitive to for my entire life and being inactive for the last 10 yrs and a greedy sod. If only there was a basic food sensitivity test for everyone as they turn adults then they would never put themselves through the pain I suffer on the regular.

[@Joe_Leech]

Thanks for sharing @monsiebabe2817 and for letting me know that you're keen on the roughage video. It sounds like you've spent some time to identify the foods that trigger you. Don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like some 1:1 support

[@Shiny54]

Looking forward to your take on the carnivore approach

[@kayhowe5191]

Please try to talk no so fast’

[@crystalfolse3208]

Thanks

[@aprilgraham4490]

Eskimos also consume a lot of fat which is probably helping the digestive system. Like the carnivore diet!

[@Joe_Leech]

I'm actually going to talk about the carnivore diet in my next video...stay tuned!

[@DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn]

@@Joe_Leechthough o am told red meat aggravates d. Who knows. Seems everything does. Unless it’s the belief it’s inflammatory

[@Tania-z1s]

Thank you as I had a really bad experience the other night and I’m not sure why but I get nauseous and then the pain is so cruel and I begin vomiting. I don’t smoke or drink alcohol as I quit almost a year ago I drink 2 litres of water a day but still struggling to lose weight. I exercise more and have been plant based for 3 years so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your wonderful videos

Thanks for the feedback @explorerny1

I have Chronic Kidney disease for 20 years plus and in the last year suffered with diverticulitis. I believe because of the dialysis diet which consists of very little fibre and restricted water in take that I developed diverticulitis. For the past 8 months I've been suffering with severe pain although I've had two lots of antibiotics during that time. What advice can you give me?

[@DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn]

Do you think diverticulitis attacks are manageable without surgery?

[@kimberlyjr4855]

Yes and a stress video!!

[@michellesosi9780]

Stress is a real thing this makes you very depressed and very, very tired. At least me it does.

[@DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn]

While I admire your video and your dedication we really didn’t learn anything. We learned what we thought that nobody really knows what causes any of this and how to treat it Other than surgical intervention

[@richbernstein6661]

My triggers seem to be strawberries (little seed on the outside of them), maybe alcohol with a fatty prime rib; and capers do it to me every time.

[@jeanskarset2557]

Too many ads, and it takes a long time to get to a point

[@marthagabrielagarciamijang2618]

What to evaluate in ostomized patients? With diverticulitis

[@maryod47]

can you please slow down

[@DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn]

Fiber video would be great

[@mariogonzales4113]

I have this same disease, it flared up after a kidney stone was dissolved & the dentist pulled my teeth in preparation for dentures. What do you suggest I can eat with only being able to gum food?

[@diannereeves7971]

I have diverticulitis
My question is do I eat fiber or not

[@janethosmer6712]

Very interested in understanding fiber better - I mostly eat high fiber keto and it seems that diverticulitis keeps rearing its ugly head!

[@elizabethgribben4320]

Mustard seeds nightmare

[@kimberlyjr4855]

A fiber video would help please.

[@Joe_Leech]

[@liricanocturna]

Allergies to pork food to me is what triggers my attacks.

[@DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn]

Allergies trigger your diverticulitis attacks?

[@liricanocturna]

They do

[@liricanocturna]

@@DaveOriginallyfromBrooklyn they do

[@michellesosi9780]

Me too no pork no salad with steak I had my ninth attack last week. I was in the hospital for seven days and I'm home and I feel like crap. I'm on antibiotics by mouth they make me sick. I couldn't get the port in my arm for the IV antibiotics this time got infected, got another one put in and it bled so they had to take that out ,which last year I came home with antibiotics by IV and I'm very very very tired and very very emotional from this and does anybody else suffer that? Since they know the correlation between the gut and the brain, I'm afraid this is really depressing!! The pain and lethargic feeling I will get surgery probably in a month or so have to follow up with my surgeon since I had so many attacks where I could risk a preforation.

[@djkenny1202]

Pork is so Random, to me? I’d avoid red meat. Harder to digest. Seems more fish, steamed veggies, watermelon-cooling foods.

[@helenhull8412]

Too much hand action
