Diverticulitis Diet 10 Foods To Avoid
Diverticulitis Diet Foods to Avoid #5: Processed Foods
Processed and packaged foods tend to be high FODMAP foods and should be avoided on a diverticulitis diet. Most of these foods are high in starches that create issues, particularly in the small intestine.
The starches ferment, thanks to your intestinal bacteria. Gas and bloating, and even diarrhea can occur. Try to avoid any packaged foods or ready-to-eat meals. Even certain canned foods can contain high starch levels.
