Diverticulitis Diet Foods to Avoid #2: Fermented Foods

Scientists have discovered that high FODMAP foods irritate the intestines of people who have diverticulitis and other intestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. What’s a FODMAP? It stands for “fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols”, meaning basically anything with a high sugar content2https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28625832.

These sugars can begin fermenting in the intestinal pouches and greatly contribute to the pain. Foods like sauerkraut and kimchi are already fermented, so when you digest them, they can wreak havoc on all those diverticula. Best to avoid these in a diverticulitis diet!
