Our Meal Plans for Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis are offered as a combination package. They are suitable for:
Promoting the treatment of diverticulitis
Preventing inflammation and development of diverticulitis in people suffering from diverticulosis
Helping people suffering from constipation
At anytime, you may choose what best suits your condition:
In case of acute occurrence of diverticulitis, or if you have recurring pain, you should follow the entire program: Start with the 3-week-long low-fiber & low-residue diet, followed by a 3-week period during which fiber is introduced progressively. You will then be ready to begin the ongoing 'maintenance' phase consisting of a high-fiber diet (see image above).
In case of diverticulosis or constipation, start directly with the 3-week period during which fiber is introduced progressively, and continue with the ongoing 'maintenance' phase (see image above).
These meal plans are based on the mediterranean diet, use a maximum of natural (unprocessed) foods, and meet all nutritional recommendations from the following respected sources:
