Hi all, I’ve been diagnosed with diverticulitis years ago but never had any symptoms. Until now I have had stomach cramps so now onto the second day of three drinking fluids only.
Reading different sites they seem to contradict each other on diet ! Some say nuts ok others say no. Joined this site to see what experiences are shared. Thanks.

Hello @manumad54
Welcome to the community!
I'm so sorry to hear your diverticulitis is flaring up I've popped your post into our Rare, Invisible and Undiagnosed section in the hopes more people in the community will see and be able to share their experiences.
Have you got a specialist for your diverticulitis that you can contact? If not, then I would advise speaking to your GP just so they can see why it has flared up all of a sudden. I was diagnosed with IBD and found the same situation when it came to diet. I believe that anyone with a bowel condition will tell you something different. It's unfortunately going to be trial and error. For example, when my stomach issues flare up, I was told to eat chicken and rice and the rice made it worse. I usually eat plain pasta or toast now.
I hope you're able to find something 🤞Hannah - She / Her
