Diverticulitis is an inflammation of intestinal diverticles.
In the past it was recommended to avoid foods with hardly digestible peels like pop-corn or beans or those with small seeds like strawberries, blueberries, cucumbers or tomatoes because they could lodge in diverticles and cause its inflammation; to the date, there’s no scientific evidence for this. But if you believe these small food particles may harm you, avoid them anyway.

One thing I find helps is eating lots of fiber in your diet and staying away from processed foods. I havent had a reoccurance since I have been doing that. If you can’t get fiber in your diet take a mix like Metamucil every morning or before you go to bed. It is important to stay regular!
