I should also point out that the "no nuts and seeds" business with diverticulitis is pretty old-school; it turns out that there's zero evidence to support it. So even if that is the diagnosis you end up with, no need to despair about that
Oh thanks for clarifying! I definitely don't want to spread outdated info. Can you point me to any sources of updated info that I can share with my mom?

I should also point out that some people do seem to have trigger foods; I avoid popcorn because while I don't have hard evidence that it causes problems for me, I'm suspect of it. I don't avoid anything else, though. My doctor says he has a couple of patients who have problems with the kernals that don't get popped, but I don't know why you'd eat those anyway. Sent from the infernal device.
