Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

You have problem of diverticulitis.
You have to modify diet that can helpful in diverticulitis. Take more fiber foods like split peas
Black beans,broccoli. .etc.Fiber diet softer the stool.

Rifaximine that helpful in diverticulitis. That decrease recurrence also.Antibiotics are also helpful in diverticulitis.

Avoid nuts ,popcorn, corn etc because that can worsen diverticulitis.
Surgery may helpful in diverticulitis but recurrences are high in younger one.

Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Thanks.
