Broth
Patients with diverticulosis need lots of fluids to stay hydrated and flush out toxins from the body, including the digestive tract. Broth is a liquid made from simmering herbs and vegetables in water. The flavors and nutrients from the vegetables are released into the water for you to drink.
Now that we have looked at the ideal foods for diverticulosis patients, we should discuss some foods to avoid. [4]
White Rice
White rice has a low-fiber content that doesn’t do much for you when you are treating diverticulosis. Many people prefer white rice to the unrefined one, but it is significantly less nutritious than the latter.
Also, doctors advise against white rice because the tiny grain particles may get lodged in the swollen pouches, causing infection.
Popcorn
Popcorn is a hard food that does not sit well with diverticulosis. The particles can easily get into the pouches, which may cause them to inflame or get infected. It is best to stick to and tender foods while treating this condition to avoid any complications.
