Right now, I'm going through an incident of diverticulitis............somewhat of a piercing pain at the very bottom of my intestines........like you want to go to the restroom, but nothing happens. Once it occurs, definitely, avoid seeds, nuts and popcorn until you're okay. I've found the best way to "heal" is to be on the "Ensure" diet (liquids only.......nothing solid......maybe bananas after a couple of days).

I’ve been dealing with diverticulitis for 14 years and just recently went to urgent care to get some antibiotics and that doctor brought up to avoid seeds. Some still mention that. My general doctors response is no one really know what’s causing it. I gave up popcorn several years ago and I still get 2 or 3 attacks each year. I’ve been told you need a high fiber diet, I’ve be told you should avoid a high fiber diet. No one seems to have a glue!

I have a history of diverticulitis which has been under control for years. After listening to this video I decided to try popcorn again. OMG... I am in agony... it took a few days before I felt the throbbing which has become full flared and very painful. I know how to take care of this... I go on just liquids for about three days and give my colon a rest. Just a warning to others who may want to try popcorn again. Not worth the pain. Thanks for all your valuable info that I have applied to my life. Feeling better. Losing weight slowly. Keep up the good work.

If you have diverticulosis meeting you have with little growths on your colon. Eating seeds or. Nuts Can cause Diverticulitis. The chances are great but it can happen. You could eat something with seeds or nuts for you to pray fine. Well very well thanks Kim Little lies to him diverticuli carving of the swell becomes diverticulitis, and that I can call you all a pain bleeding from the rectum will your store. If it’s pink beloved fast OK love means it’s coming from the area around the colon or rectum. This man made this in 2017. It’s now 2024. You could keep a Journal of what you eat and then if you get pain and a little bright red blood, it’s coming ,most likely from you colon. A seed or little bits of nuts can get stuck in the diverticulitis , that can also get infected and cause fever and nausea and stomach issues. So, I don’t know what this Gentleman is saying.? You could have a form of Allergies to nuts as well. Nobody knows you better than your own soccer ever replace that with people online. I hope you feel better my friend.

My Dad had surgery for diverticulitis in the 1970's. (He was not overweight nor did he smoke.) I remember the family sitting, watching a tv show & eating the kernels off of the popcorn so that he could have a tiny bowl of just the white puff of the corn. He was so grateful! My grandmother would laboriously peel the seeds off of strawberries for him & he would blissfully have that bit of fruit with some cream. His doctor was ahead of the curve and reversed that directive in the '90s. I still remember Dad's joy in eating fresh, whole strawberries and a big bowl of popcorn for the first time in 20 years! Medical science marches on. Thanks for jogging this sweet little memory.

The only time I got diverticulosis was when we bought a 25 pound bag of raw peanuts and I was really working my way through them until I had to go to the emergency room. I was given an antibiotic and was pain-free by the time I got home so I don’t know what it was. We gave the remaining peanuts away. I have a problem with any kind of nut, I just can’t eat a handful.

I am 65 and chubby but I eat a low-carb diet with protein, vegetables, low-carb fruits, eggs, etc., and very little junk food or processed food. I am wondering if this isn't truly a digestive issue caused by perhaps low stomach acid. After an overnight in the hospital and a round of antibiotics, I decided to add Kimchi, Sauerkaut, and pickles (fermented foods) in hopes that they would aid in overall digestion. I must say, the fermented foods do keep things moving!

My mother was in the beginning of her 3rd week on keto. She weighed herself and was disheartened to see that she hadn’t lost any weight yet, then a few days later she began having some abdominal discomfort and cramping. She said she had eaten nuts and that the diet gave her a “diverticulitis attack” so she decided to stop altogether. It is unfortunate that she didn’t do some research before making this decision. I believe she was experiencing symptoms of electrolyte imbalance and the need for more fat and green leafy fiber in her diet. I attempted to explain this to her but she didn’t seem to believe me. Sometimes it’s hard to teach a loved one a new concept or idea when they have been so used to the same information for so long. It’s hard when we have the best intentions but we have to kind of tone down our excitement and enthusiasm in order for our loved ones to take us seriously when we are going up against the old medical establishment that me and my dad were trained in as RNs. I graduated in 2005, had one nutrition class and learned about the food pyramid and also that nuts, seeds and popcorn cause diverticulitis. My father who graduated in 1991, was taught even more dated information. These are the nurses out there in the hospitals and doctors offices taking care of us and counseling us on diet in 2019. This is who my mom is sitting next to at home as she complains of stomach pain after eating a portion of nuts and seeds. My dad, the late 80’s/early 90’s trained nurse is telling her “it’s diverticulitis. Stop this crazy diet! Look what it’s doing to you. Eat some pasta already!” Oy! Am I a little disappointed my mother won’t be getting the great benefits of keto and taking this journey alongside me (I’m in week 7, feel great, down 15lbs!), yes, but it is her decision and I will always love and support her.

Hi frank, I read a while ago ( sorry, I can't remember where!) that the Spurs are formed due to much acid forming in the blood. Main causes were coke consumption. The blood needs to remain at a constant acid/alkaline level, and surge like drinking coke alters this to acid. To compensate the body sucks calcium from the bones to neutralise the acid. Once this is done the blood then needs to dump any excess calcium and so forms Spurs as a result. Sticking to foods more inclined for your blood group can help avoid such ailments and basically avoid coke and high acid forming foods if your body is not a happy bunny on them..good luck.

Strawberries give me an outbreak! Thats a fact. A doctor told me just what youre saying, so I ate strawberries, and in a couple days, had an out break! Another doctor told me if I eat popcorn again, I should plan on surgery. I've heard both sides, but I know what effects me... I find stress to be one of the worst culprits. If you'll pay my medical bills, I'll try it, but it costs too much to get sick anymore....

Research that was done by placing inflated balloons in the colon and measuring the pressure created by segmentation indicated that diverticular form because of a lack of sufficient bulk in the colon during segmentation. The powerful contractions working against insufficient bulk , (fiber), create a pressure so high that it causes the colonic walls to blow out. In other words eating those seeds and nuts which contain a good bit of fiber actually help prevent diverticulitis , not cause diverticulitis.

Those seeds that were inside you, was the source of your pain. Because your gut was damaged your body couldn't flush them out of your body. So instead they got, caught in small pouches in your intestines. Causing dreadful irritation and since it's constant your body is mounting an immune response in your gut. As an effort to try to get rid of those seeds but to no avail. Going through the same thing myself ate a strawberry donut, with the raspberry seeds inside. Although the lady failed to mention there were seeds inside that donut. Going through hell right now 😭. Still haven't passed any seeds but I have passed poo.

I finally figured out too much fiber was my problem. I just barely avoided a colon resection after my first bout of diverticulitis (that I knew of). I was very sick, with sepsis. I did lots of reading after that, and learned that I needed the exact opposite of what I'd always been told -- I needed LESS fiber. I had nothing to lose, so I tried it and it worked! I still eat low glycemic veggies with my meat/protein. I believe *soluble* fiber is good for us. I also take at *least* 600 mg of magnesium (ionic drops & magnesium glycinate) every day, and drink a good bit of water and tea. No more diverticulitis! Keto, and of course carnivore, naturally lower one's fiber intake. That is proper... proper human diet! 😊

I had a severe case of Diverticulitis a few years back, it was so bad that I had to be on a Colostomy bag for 4 months because they had to remove a piece of my large intestine because the antibiotics were not working and infection was so bad. The doctor even removed my appendix since that area was so bad. He informed me that it was the first he had since such a severe case in his practice. So he explained to me that I had to avoid nuts and popcorn and to drink Metamucil for fiber.

@KenDBerryMD - I've gone ahead and read the 2008 study from JAMA. One point of confusion for me is that the study states at the beginning of the study none of the patients had diverticulitis. It then continues to detail the inverse of the 800ish patients that developed diverticulitis, the ones that ate less seeds and nuts were a higher percentage of the 800ish patients. Question, for someone that already has diverticulitis, what are the concerns (if any) of eating nuts and seeds? From reading the study, in appears to only focus on individuals that don't already have diverticulitis and when they do eat nuts and seeds does that cause the disease. However, it doesn't appear to address the question of someone already having the pouches due to diverticulitis and if eating nuts and seeds they can get caught in the pouches. I appreciate the help, if you see this comment.

It feels like it came out of nowhere. I have not had that much pain since acute pancreatitis. They gave me antibiotics and sent me home, but did say if pain got worse to come back, I was told to avoid seeds, grains, nuts, and no popcorn.
