Diverticulitis

Just been diagnosed with diverticulitis after colonoscopy, luckily no cancer found. Unfortunately I’m having to wear pads as I am experiencing “leaking” after a bowel movement. Any help with diet or tips, I would appreciate, as I am reluctant to take Loperamide on a regular basis.

I was told 30 years ago to put a teaspoon full of bran on my breakfast cereal, it worked for me. All the best.
