I have been developing a diverticulosis over the years which tends to lead to a mild inflammation (diverticulitis) one or two times a year.
In some cases the application of antibiotics could be averted by drinking lots of water and using some lactulosis against opstipation.
Early this year I had bad luck and a diverticulitis could not be stopped by clindamycin (which obviously didn't work) and I had to spend one week in a hospital receiving two different antibiotics intravenously, which in turn damaged the gut flora and led to a period of candida.
Clearly all I need to do is to prevent opstipation, drink a lot of water* and get on my bike daily.
But what about the right diet to prevent further inflammations?
'Science' and nutrition consultants advise me to cling to a high fiber diet with wholemeal bread and vegetables, beans and lots of fruits.
Do you think there is any chance they could be right on any of these points?
Over the years I have adapted my nutrition to that favored here on the forum, which in my case would be meat (fried, minced, cooked) and small amounts of carbs with scrambled eggs and or ham in the morning, with fruits high in Vitamin C along the way.
Beef can be pretty tough to digest - could it perhaps evoke inflammation of diverticular tissue?
* There is a mineral water with healing properties I can recommend: Donat Mg from Slovenia.
It is high in magnesium, sodium, bicarbonate, SO4 and CO2. It works miracles against opstipation.
