Diverticulitis is caused due to dietary habits, mainly low in fiber and high in fats. While increasing fiber intake can certainly help prevent diverticulitis, in the context of treatment this alone will not be enough. You do need to increase your intake, but also make it a point to eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. Eating habits are therefore as important as what you eat. Fluid intake is also important and should be increased. Physical activity is another area that is important and even light or moderate activity for twenty minutes a day can help. There are other self care practices and natural remedies, many of which are simple and can be incorporated into your daily routine and diet. Keep in mind that our digestive system is a lot more complex than most of us care to think and is affected by multiple factors. Simply focusing on one aspect of treatment while neglecting others will not help. The resource links below should be of better help.

• I have tried out every diet under the sun but nothing worked as well as acai berry. I realize they say that pills don't work, but they certainly worked for me, and they've been featured on the Rachael Ray Show too. There is a free trial happening at the moment at http://cecucn.bestslimmingforyou.info , try it out, what's the worst that could happen?
• Best advice is to avoid any foods that have little seeds or nuts that can get caught in the pockets to cause the inflamation.
