Fighting Diverticular Disease With Diet
Patients suffering from Diverticular disease are often recommended by their doctors to pair their prescribed medications with a diet high in fiber. Many times, a diet high in fiber may cancel out the need for medications and may be enough in itself to control the symptoms of diverticulosis. The dominant theory surrounding diverticular disease blames the low-fiber diet as the culprit. It is interesting to note that in countries where low fiber diets are popular, diverticular disease is more prevalent. These countries include the United States, England and Austrailia. In countries where the general daily diet is rich in fiber, diverticular disease is rare - thus leading to the theory that fiber is key when it comes to preventing diverticular disease. Countries that support a diet high in fiber include: Africa and Asia. The current daily recommendation for dietary fiber is 20 to 35 grams. The following foods are great sources of fiber which can assist in fighting and preventing Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis. Below the fiber chart is a diet menu rich in fiber. At one time, many health professionals had a theory that small seeds such as those found in tomatoes and strawberries contributed to diverticulitis but have since connected attacks with all foods and irritants that become lodged in the diverticula. When viewing the fiber chart below, keep in mind that fiber content varies according to name brand, preparation method and food varieties.
The Diverticulitis & Diverticulosis Diet Menu The following diet menu is very high in fiber. It's important to add large volumes of fiber to your daily diet slowly so that the body can adjust as fiber naturally creates gas, bloating and gastro disturbances which can create even more painful issues for those suffering from diverticular disease. The following diet menu is intended as an example and we encourage anyone with diverticular disease to meet with their health care professional for a personalized recommended daily diet. The diet contains about 51.8 grams of dietary fiber - which is extreme. We achieved such to demonstrate that putting a large volume of fiber into the daily diet can be easily achieved. As a note, your doctor may choose to pair your daily high-fiber diet with a fiber supplement which may be less likely to create gastric upset. Breakfast:
Mid-morning Snack: 10 dried apple rings - 5.6 fiber grams Lunch:
1 slice of whole wheat bread/roll - 3 fiber grams Afternoon Snack: 1 tangerine - 1.9 fiber grams Dinner:
Evening Snack: 3 cups of air-popped popcorn - 3.6 fiber grams Diverticulitis & Diverticulosis Facts - Diverticulitis occurs in 10 to 25 percent of individuals with diverticulosis. - Dietary fiber may reduce symptoms of diverticulosis & prevent diverticulitis by keeping the stool soft and 'on the move'. - About 10% of individuals over age 40 have diverticulosis. - About half of all individuals over age 60 have diverticulosis. - Symptoms of diverticulosis may include: no symptoms, bloating, mild cramps, constipation and gas. - Depending upon the severity, the symptoms of diverticulitis may include: abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness particularly in the left side of the lower abdomen, fever, nausea, vomiting, constipation, chills and cramping.
