Hi I can't do a lot of expertise because of small airways decease,however I am the founder of The Befrienders a ministry for people with a disability,also a sanctuary in Kenya for children with disabilities.and lately a charity BEFRIENDERS FOR DISABILITY,so I am not lazy ,

Now I have been diagnosed with diverticulitis and at the moment I am in terrible pain,I'm assuming I have triggered this flare up by something I have eaten.but I have tried on line to find out the right foods to eat or those to watch out for to no avail can anyone help please .

Hi Hol35- ,

Welcome to the Healthy Eating forum. I like your photo, and you sound like a busy woman with your Ministry work. I am so sorry to hear you're experiencing a lot of pain at the moment. It might be helpful to discuss your symptoms more with your GP and get some advice from him/her regarding diet, but in the meantime, here are a couple of link pages that might help you:

The first is from the NHS Choices website, and there is some information about diet further down the article:

nhs.uk/conditions/Diverticu...

The second is an information leaflet from Patient.co.uk which also has some suggestions regarding diet there as well:

patient.info/health/diverti...

I hope that information is helpful.

Wishing you all the best and hope you are able to get some relief from the pain.

Zest

Greetings from Stella, just joined!

Hi Stella can I ask what health problems the acupuncture has helped you with if you don't mind me asking?
