Loosen the skins by boiling the nuts for 5 minutes, then drain the nuts in a colander, and blast them with your sink's spray hose.llustration: Sam Wiley.

Diverticulitis as well as diverticular disease can be diagnosed with barium X-rays, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, or CT scan. Treatment of diverticulitis and diverticular disease can include high fiber diet, and anti-spasmodic drugs. Foods to eat that may prevent diverticulitis flares include fruits and vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.
Medicines to stop infection and to control symptoms often are used to treat attacks of diverticulitis. Antibiotics are given to treat the infection causing the attack. Prescription pain relievers sometimes are needed if nonprescription pain relievers cannot control the pain.
