ASK THE DOCTOR
Q:
I have been treated for diverticulitis. My doctor has
put me through several tests and we are waiting for the results. How should
I eat and manage my lifestyle?
A:
I recommend you wait until all the test results are in
and a specific diagnosis is made by your primary physician before you begin
any additional treatment protocols.
In the mean time, I suggest you go on a soft, liquid diet. Avoid meat and
preservative products. Also avoid cold raw foods, including raw salads.
