Diverticulitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the diverticula, which are small pouches in the lining of the large intestine. At Michoes Medical Centre, our team of experts provides comprehensive treatment and management options for diverticulitis patients in Kanyum and Kumi areas.
When you’re having a bout of diverticulitis, it’s helpful to give your digestive system a rest by drinking liquids and eating easy-to-digest, low-fiber foods. Our experienced doctors may recommend a bowel rest, where you avoid solid food and only consume clear liquids for 2-3 days.
During a flare-up, it’s essential to stick to well-cooked or canned vegetables without skin, as they are lower in fiber. Avoid high-fiber foods like fruit, beans, and whole-grain bread, which can exacerbate symptoms.
A balanced diet with plenty of high-fiber foods can help prevent future attacks. However, it’s crucial to introduce fiber gradually to allow your digestive system to adjust. Drinking plenty of water daily can also support a healthy gut.
At Michoes Medical Centre, our pharmacy team is equipped to provide safe and effective medication management for diverticulitis patients. Our experienced pharmacists will work closely with your doctor to ensure you receive the right treatment plan.
