What is the Treatment for Diverticular Disease (diverticulitis)?
Diverticular disease, diverticulitis, a type of digestive disease, is probably caused by our highly refined Western Diet, with inadequate amounts of fiber, especially soluble fiber. Typical treatment for diverticular disease includes a high-fiber diet and, occasionally, mild pain medications which help relieve symptoms in most cases. Sometimes an attack of diverticulitis is serious enough to require a hospital stay and possibly surgery.
