- Diet
- Fiber
- The role of fiber in the development of diverticulosis is unclear. Several early studies suggested that low dietary fiber predisposes to the development of diverticular disease, but other studies have been conflicting[1].However, dietary fiber and a vegetarian diet may reduce the incidence of symptomatic diverticular disease by decreasing intestinal inflammation and altering the intestinal microbiota[2].
