No diet at all. Never was put on one. And never told not to eat peanuts or popcorn and all the typical “do not eat foods” associated with aggravating diverticulitis".

I had a colonoscopy about 3 months later - no polyps nothing.

Many years ago I developed an ulcer (real) and the doctor treated it with meds (Tagemet). Then years later I started to have pains that were like what I had with the ulcer. I just treated it with OTC Tagemet and what ever until I felt better. Looks like I had DiverT for quit awhile and not an ulcer.

The only thing I was told to do was to stop drinking beer! Yeah right!
