Discerning The Good Diverticulosis Foods From The Bad

Here you are sitting at your dining table going over a list of foods the doctor has provided you with. They are foods that you should avoid eating because you have been diagnosed with having a problem with diverticulosis. The huge no-no’s include all your favorite meals, especially if you are a lover of fried foods and spicy, hot sauces. Vegetarians with this problem have to avoid big time favorites like nuts and seeds, raw vegetables, even tomato juice and iceberg lettuce. So what are the diverticulosis foods that are safe for you to eat? You can go to the extreme and start eating baby food which would be a safe, but boring and embarrassing culinary experience. Here is a better route. Remember as a rule that raw vegetables are your enemy. Anything that is hot and spicy and that includes onions, chili peppers, and horse radish, anything that is fried just eliminate and switch over to healthier ways of cooking your meat and vegetables. Cooking your vegetables allows you to still have variety, and there are many recipes and diet programs you can find online that will help guide you.
