Brown Rice
Brown rice, also called unrefined rice is rice with bran and germ. Bran and germ are two outer layers of the grain containing most of the vitamins and minerals. Although it may be best for diverticulosis patients not to eat rice at all, it is a much healthier option than white rice because of its rich fiber content. Fiber is especially beneficial for those suffering from diverticulosis.
Eating brown rice ensures that you are getting a higher daily intake of nutrients which may help speed up recovery. Ensure that the brown rice is well cooked until it is very soft to prevent grains from lodging in the pouches.
