How a Dietitian Can Help with Diverticulosis & Diverticulitis

In diverticular disease, small pouches form in the lining of the large intestine. If these pockets become inflamed or infected this is called diverticulitis. 

We Can Help With

• Understanding the connection between diverticulosis/ diverticulitis and food

• Developing a pattern of eating to manage a flare (when the disease is active)

• Developing a pattern of eating to manage remission (when the disease is not active)

• Identifying any trigger foods

• Creating a plan to meet your nutritional needs and correcting nutritional inadequacies

• Assisting with body composition changes e.g. help with gaining weight
