hello fellow registered nurse! here's some basic information on diverticulosis which i'm sure you know (but for the benefit of other readers) is a condition in which small sacs occur in the walls of the large intestine (colon). these sacs may not cause problems. if symptoms occur including pain and possibly fever a condition called " diverticulitis " may be diagnosed. while there's some controversy about whether or not diet plays a role in developing diverticulitis the general advice for anyone with diverticulosis is to eat a high-fiber diet so that stool moves easily through the colon. scheduling bowel movements may also be helpful. since the goal of a diverticulosis diet is to avoid constipation patients probably should also maintain good hydration and exercise regularly. hope this helps!
