As part of a short-term treatment strategy for acute diverticulitis, your physician may suggest that you follow a diverticulitis diet. Diverticula are characterized by the formation of tiny pouches that protrude outward from the lining of the digestive tract. The bottom portion of the big intestine is often where one will discover them (colon). Diverticulosis is the name given to this ailment. In some instances, inflammation or infection might develop in one or more of the pouches. This condition is referred to as diverticulitis. Antibiotics and a diet low in fiber are the standard treatments for mild cases of diverticulitis. However, in some cases, the treatment may begin with a period of rest during which the patient does not consume anything by mouth. Next, the patient will begin drinking clear liquids, and then they will transition to a diet low in fiber as their condition improves. Patients with more severe symptoms are often need to be hospitalized.
