• Constipation

  The way to do that is to avoid constipation by eating a diet high in fiber and rich in fruits and vegetables. Such a diet makes it easier for your digestive system to do its job, thereby preventing constipation and leading to a healthy colon. [manhattangastroenterology.com]

  You ask about the use of charcoal for diverticulosis: because constipation figures so prominently in the formation of diverticula, and because charcoal tends to be binding or constipating for many, I would choose to focus more on lifestyle issues than [charcoalremedies.com]

  Both kinds of fiber prevent constipation. Constipation makes the muscles strain to move stool that is too hard. It is the main cause of increased pressure in the colon. [helpforibs.com]

  RESULTS: Constipation was not associated with an increased risk of diverticulosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Muscle Strain

  Without enough fiber stool becomes hard, which creates pressure in the colon as the muscles strain to move the stool. This pressure is what causes the parts of the wall of the colon to pop out into pouches. [iffgd.org]

  Constipation makes the muscles strain to move stool that is too hard. It is the main cause of increased pressure in the colon. The excess pressure may cause the weak spots in the colon to bulge out and become diverticula. [mngi.com]

Diverticulitis Treatment Treatment for diverticulitis focuses on clearing up the infection and inflammation, resting the colon, and preventing or minimizing complications. [helpforibs.com]

Asymptomatic diverticulosis requires no treatment. When symptoms develop, treatment varies depending on clinical manifestations. [merckmanuals.com]

Although novel treatment options are yet to become available, the addition of therapies based on mesalazine (mesalamine) and probiotics may enhance treatment efficacy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis varies if complications develop and is particularly serious in the case of peritonitis. About 90% of people who have a colon resection do not have symptoms return after the surgery. [2minutemedicine.com]

Treatment and prognosis The majority of patients remain asymptomatic throughout life and no treatment is required. A high fiber diet may reduce the incidence of diverticula and rate of complications 7. [radiopaedia.org]

Outlook (Prognosis) Most people who have diverticulosis have no symptoms. Once these pouches have formed, you will have them for life. Up to 25% of people with the condition will develop diverticulitis. [mountsinai.org]

Soluble fiber is not a laxative - it simply helps normalize bowel function and actually works as well to relieve and prevent diarrhea as constipation. [helpforibs.com]

Although the changes in the colon from diverticulosis are permanent, a diet high in fiber and oral fluids likely prevents or slows the progression of diverticulosis. [sharecare.com]

A high fiber diet is broadly recommended for the prevention of diverticular disease based on unconfirmed, unproven, untested, and speculative "theories" that a low fiber diet causes this pathology. [gutsense.org]

Diet high in fiber increases stool bulk and prevents constipation, and theoretically may help prevent further diverticular formation or worsening of the diverticular condition. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Analysis: You have just proven that bulking up the stool with adequate fiber reduces pressure within the colon, which in turn, prevents diverticuli from forming or, perhaps, even preventing colon bacteria from being driven into the colon wall, causing [prebiotin.com]
