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.
Diverticulitis occurs when the pouches in the colon become infected or inflamed. Dietary changes can help the colon heal. Fiber is an important part of the diet for patients with diverticulosis. A high-fiber diet softens and gives bulk to the stool, allowing it to pass quickly and easily.
