Ive increased the amount of fruits and vegetables in my diet, but should I avoid foods with seeds, for fear that the seeds may become trapped in diverticula and cause irritation?
In the past, doctors recommended that people with diverticular disease avoid eating seeds, like those in cucumbers and strawberries. But there’s no scientific evidence supporting the notion that the particles become lodged in diverticula and inflame them. Some doctors still recommend that their patients eat foods with seeds in moderation.
