I have been dealing with diverticulosis for many years. I followed doctors orders inorder to avoid surgery. I spent 3 days on antibiotics via IVs. I had a couple more episodes that were treated with more oral antibiotics. I've had a large amount of antibiotics and many bounce back episodes. I changed my diet, but during holidays I had sweets. After a colonoscipy it was discovered that I had many diverticuli. I was hospitilized five times when I was a child and given antibiotics. I told that operating would be imposible. I went 4 years without an attack. This year I had a sever attack. I decided to fast for 4 days and limit the amount and types of food I ate to avoid inflamation. There are many diets out there and I chose the foods that I feel were best. I chose a very restrictive SIBO type diet with only eating twice a diet within an 8 hous period (daily fast. I also fast one day per week and sometimes fast for 3- 4 days, once per month. I feel that sugar is very bad, unless found naturally in healthy foods. So far I am feeling much better and I know that I can't have any more "cheat days". Every case is different. Cleanses with Caster oil are my next goal. I watched a KZread that discussed how, from a young age, people in India cleanse once a week with warm Caster oil, taken, clear the bowel, wait two hours and drink a lot of water, then clear the bowel again. What do you think of this approach Dr Tebala? I would love to get your insites to this aporoach.

After 2 years of first diverticulitis attack went into emergency service at hospital and they said i had abscess between colon and bladder and i needed surgery to fix.then 3 weeks later it broke into had to go back and put a pick line in for antibiotics and wait for 2 months till surgery.after colon resection surgery they took 1 foot of large bowel and reconnect bowel. 2 months later started haveing problems and surgeon kept having me have cat scans and monitor situation then 5 months after surgery bowel reconnect with bladder and broke through again so i went to specialist in this situation and 3 weeks after seeing her i was in surgery and they fixed 5 things that were wrong. The bottom line is only go to a specialist in this situation and read reviews.a general surgeon should not perform the surgery!

Here are the foods I avoid: People are more susceptible to SIBO if they have Crohns’s disease, Celiac disease, Diabetes (both I and II), Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and low stomach acid. Moderate alcohol use, oral birth control pills, bowel surgery, immunodeficient, multiple uses of antibiotics, and organ system dysfunction also put people at risk for SIBO. Depending on what factor(s) may have caused SIBO, the underlying dietary guidelines should be followed in conjunction with a SIBO diet. For example, those with IBS should avoid garlic and onion, even though garlic can help fight excessive bacteria. An overview of risk factors for SIBO was conducted by a team at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and published by Gastronterol Hepatol in 2007. World Journal of Gastroenterology published information collected on SIBO at Charles University in Praha in 2010. The authors here reiterate that therapy for SIBO, including diet, is complex and dependent on lifestyles and outside factors, and must be personalized. The following list are guidelines for foods to generally avoid with SIBO. Drinks Water is the best beverage to have throughout the day, however some drinks will disrupt the digestive tract more than others. Alcohol, so long as it was not a precursor to SIBO, may be consumed in small amounts if it is: dry wine (under 2% RS), bourbon, gin, vodka, or whiskey/scotch. Some beverages to avoid include: Soda (high in sugar)Fruit Juice (high in sugar)Alcohol (Except types listed above)Premade tea (lightly brewed homemade tea is okay for some individuals)Coffee and tea in moderation Fruits and Vegetables While small servings of fruits are acceptable, high-sugar and carb fruits should be avoided. Vegetables are important to provide nutrients to the body, however some vegetables contain fructans: a type of carbohydrate that is difficult to digest. Canned fruits and vegetables should be avoided, especially ones with added sugars. The following list are some produce items to cut back on or avoid, however the list is not extensive: Fruits: ApplesMangoesPeachesPearsWatermelonCoconutDried fruitFruit juice Vegetables: Cruciferous (broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, bok choy…)Raw OnionsRaw vegetables should be eaten in moderation Meats, Poultry, and Dairy Any processed meat should be avoided. These include: Cold cutsLunch meatBolognaHot dogsAny meat from pigs (bacon, sausage, pork, ham) Processed cheeses and most forms of dairy should also be avoided, including: Ice CreamButterMost cheese (feta, cream cheese, cottage cheese, any processed cheese such as Velveeta and American, packaged shredded cheese)Milk Sugars All forms of sugars, except honey, should be avoided. This includes: Table sugar (white and brown, powdered, granule, etc)Added sugars (fructose, mannose, etc)AgaveStevia (may be okay for some individuals in moderate consumption)XylitolArtificial sweeteners (Sucralose)Other Sweeteners (Sorbitol, Mannitol)Corn SyrupLactose Grains and Carbohydrates Carbohydrates and starches are important fuel for the body, however many forms will also fuel bacteria if they stay in the small intestine for too long. The following list are some suggestions of starches and carbs to avoid, however personal experimentation is needed to establish how the body reacts. White PotatoesMulti-grainRefined grainsWild RiceWhite RiceTapioca starch and flourLentilsPeasBeans (Limit intake) Other Nutrients to Avoid Cooking oils with additives, including all cooking sprays.Light buttersMargarineSoy, including tofu (soybean oil and soy lecithin may be okay)Carageenan and Maltodextrin (processed from corn)

So what can a person eat? Seems like that is cutting out almost everything.
