Actually, no specific foods are known to trigger diverticulitis attacks. And no special diet has been proved to prevent attacks. In the past, people with small pouches in the lining of the colon (diverticula) were told to avoid nuts, seeds and popcorn.It was thought that these foods could lodge in diverticula and cause inflammation (diverticulitis). But there's no evidence that these foods cause diverticulitis.nd no special diet has been proved to prevent attacks.

A deficit applies to just one year. So, if the government takes in $10 trillion dollars but spends $13 trillion dollars in one year, then it has run a $3 trillion dollar deficit. When the government runs a deficit, then it must borrow money to make up the difference. A debt is completely different. Think of debt as accumulated deficits. If the government has to borrow money every year, then its debt will continue to grow year-after-year. This debt does not disappear unless the government elects to try and pay it down (rare occurrence).
As of December 15, 2015, the U.S. is $18.8 trillion in debt. The national debt - aka the federal debt - is the total of all the past years' budget deficits, minus what the government has paid off with budget surpluses. Deficits are common: in the last half century, the federal government has run a deficit in 45 out of 50 years.
