5. Potatoes
Potatoes are a hearty food, and they are a great option to include in a low fiber diverticulitis diet. It’s important to remove the skin of the potatoes, however, as most of the dietary fiber that they contain is located in the skin.
By eating the skin of this vegetable, the effects of diverticulitis may be compounded, such as constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain and tenderness, and bloating. You can prepare potatoes without the skin in a multitude of ways, including baked, boiled or mashed.
Potatoes are also easy to digest, making them a very friendly food if you suffer from diverticulitis.
