6. Fatty foods
If you have received a diagnosis of diverticulitis, you are going to want to avoid eating foods that are high in fat at all costs. This includes fried foods, such as French fries, wings, potato chips, as well as pizza, burgers and anything else that has a high fat content.
Fatty foods are known to stimulate the digestive tract, which can cause inflammation and trigger the reflexes of the intestines, which is the portion of the digestive system that is affected by diverticulitis.
Fatty foods can contribute to gas and diarrhea, issues that are commonly associated with diverticulitis.
