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.
The treatment of a diverticulitis attack will depend on the severity of the symptoms and whether this is your first attack. Mild cases of diverticulitis are generally treated with a change in diet, antibiotics and rest. Severe cases more than likely will require surgery to remove the diseased portion of your colon. During an attack of diverticulitis, your doctor may recommend a clear liquid diet or a low-fiber diet.
