Just found this site. Great info everyone! I got a severe case of Diverticulitis for the first time a few weeks ago. Thought I had food poisoning. Spent 5 nights in the hospital. I can honestly say that it was the WORST experience in my life. No food or water & just an IV full of antibiotics the whole time. I also have a fractured ankle & running to the toilet every hours hopping on one foot & tugging and IV along was not fun. It's a great diet plan though. I lost 20 pounds in just 3 weeks. My Doc says the same what evryone else mentions. Lots of fruits & veggies and a high fiber diet. It's a whole new lifestyle for me now. Going from 1 lb. T-Bones to salads. I would not wish Diverticulitis on my worse enemy. (Well, maybe I would.) :-)
