I was just diagnosed with diverticulosis. I'm a bit confused about this and wasn't able to speak very long over the phone with my doctor. Does anyone else have this and can you tell me a bit more about it and what to eat and not to eat. Common with lapband or not related at all?

Thank you!!

Not a band relation, but I read popcorn can cause it (the seeds). It's just when a pocket forms in your bowels, and stuff gets clogged in there.

My husband had it last year, the docs just had him drink magnesium citrate, clear out the bowels, and he was better the next day.

I had it sometime ago and it was very painful. I wasn't permitted to eat anything with hulls or a shell such as; peas, lima beans, corn, nuts, popcorn etc... This has nothing to do with the band and everything with your diet.

My mom just had surgery for this.No pepper, seeds,berries,popcorn,tomatoes,nuts(really bad),corn etc.....It gets stuck in the pocets causeing inflamation and attacks.

Good luck

Go To Web Md and or mayo clinic and do a search.

Mine actually became a very serious case of Diverticulitis ( It's active flare/infection of your condition).

I have avoid foods that are not easy broken down. This is the reason why the posters mentioned to avoid nuts and seeds, They might get caught up in the pouches along your colon and get infected.

This happened to me. Usually, it can be treated with steroids. More Serious cases, like mine, require surgery. I am a very rare case of it. I was only 23 when I my infection and surgery.

hi there, my mom has it....she does not have lapband she cannot eat popcorn, anything with seeds, nuts. those are the primary things. evrything else i think is on a person to person basis
