When the diverticulitis episode is over, you should greatly increase your dietary fiber intake. Try not to consume too much dairy during this time.
Be careful not to fall asleep with the heating pad on.
Meditation. Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit and meditate for 15 minutes. Deep breathing. Lie down somewhere quiet and comfortable and take slow, deep breaths while focusing on your breathing.
Don’t begin eating fiber until after you’ve recovered from an episode of diverticulitis.
