Hi DJ,
What your doctor did not tell you is that diverticuli is a natural process that most people develop as they age. A high fiber diet is useful as it keeps the diverticuli clean. You must also follow a special diet that will prevent a recurrence of the inflammation of the diverticuli.
This diet requires that you no longer eat nuts, seeds, popcorn or any foods that contain hard pieces. If you follow this diet you can live pain free for the rest of your life.
