Joe I had diverticulitis for 6 years and been through all the meds and fiber speech. Frankly, the meds made me sick and I felt so miserable I finally thought surgery was the answer. So I went to surgeon and he told me no surgery. He told me to get Metamucil and you will be fine. Also, stay away from greasy fried foods. Your body will tell you what you can eat. Be your own advocate and keep seeking knowledge.
Since that meeting I have had not one flare up and pain free. I take it twice per day.

Thank You, for the time and concern to contact Me. Can't remember if I tried Metamucil , I certainly have tried the powdered fibre and drinks ,I believe as You stated, the food consumes You not V/versus- And for sure my Body tells me if I am not careful.
I have it down to three visits a day , so I'm in a better place if I am careful with the foods.
Thanks again
Joe
Joe it's called the North American diet. We consume way too much read meat as humans. I was fighting the 25 grams or more per day of fiber and I was having flare ups every 8 weeks and couldn't take the meds anymore. I went to an outstanding surgeon ready to go under the knife and he recommended OTC Metamucil. I was shocked and couldn't believe it that an OTC product could stop it. By George the good old Dr was spot on and I never looked back. I still eat what I want but have cut down on the red meats and I stay away from any greasy foods and no fast food junk.
Hope this helps and best of luck to you young man.
Ps- I hope to make it to 75 years one day.
