Suggest Treatment For Slight Diverticulosis

My grandad has nausea everyday. He had a light run down his throat and a colonoscopy and they found some slight diverticulosis and gave him an acid reducer. Everything seems to be good with all the other tests. What could be causing it and how can he get rid of the nausea?

Hi,

Your grandfather might follow these instructions to keep himself free from diverticulitis attack and associated nausea

1. If he is having acidity associated nausea then he must take regular small meals with high fiber content. This will prevent acid pooling in the stomach which can cause nausea. He must also avoid spicy foods.

3. Eating more fiber. High-fiber foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains, soften waste material and help it pass more quickly through the colon. This reduces pressure inside the digestive tract.

4. He must be drinking plenty of fluids. Fiber works by absorbing water and increasing the soft, bulky waste in the colon. Not drinking enough liquid to can cause the increased fiber to be constipating.

5. He must do regular exercises to keep the bowel functions normal.
