Diverticulitis Diet Foods to Avoid #1: Certain Fruits
Certain fruits like apples, pears and plums should be avoided with diverticulitis. These foods are also high FODMAP foods but for a different reason. These fruits are high in fructose, a naturally occurring sugar in fruits. If you have diverticulitis, and eat too much fructose, it could contribute to sugar fermentation in your gut and therefore to the symptoms of diverticulitis.
