Diverticulitis - Prevention
To help prevent diverticulitis:
- Eat a high-fiber diet that is low in fat and red meat.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Exercise regularly.
If you have had diverticulitis before, try to avoid using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This type of medicine could raise your risk of diverticulitis problems.3
