What exactly is diet diverticulitis?

Diverticulitis is a condition in which small, bulging pouches (diverticula) develop in the wall of the colon. Diverticular disease is a general term for the presence of diverticula, which can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation. Diet diverticulitis is a type of diverticular disease that is thought to be caused by a diet that is low in fiber. Fiber is important for maintaining healthy bowel function and preventing the formation of diverticula. A diet high in fiber can help to bulk up stool and make it easier to pass, which can reduce the pressure on the colon and prevent the formation of diverticula. Foods that are high in fiber include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
