Could you get a second opinion on the foods?
My dad has that and he eats everything except nuts, seeds, and corn (or corn products). |

yes, what Teeni said...the current opinion is that a low fiber diet is what CAUSES diverticuli to start with. You probably should avoid nuts, seeds, and popcorn if you are having a flare.
Is that diet from your physician? [MD or DO type?]
Do a google search for diverticulitis diet, only look at medical links - not personal opinion links...here's one from the National Institute for HEalth, which is where I typically start my medical searches [as a legal nurse consultant] when I want the definitive basics.
