For me the last four times have been: 1st time; over eating and not enough water 2nd time; Spanish peanuts. 3rd time; Spanish peanuts. The last time; over eating and not enough water. I get “flare ups” now and then that haven’t required either hospitalization or antibiotics but it’s always from not enough water and over eating. Water is so important so when I feel that familiar “sharpness” in my colon I immediately drink 20 ounces of water and within a couple hours it’s gone. Staying regular with bowel movements is important and I just ordered diverticulitis tea which I am going to start drinking at night before bed.

I’m having a flare up right now I didn’t eat anything that I can think of that would have caused it. But I took collagen peptides which I don’t think is good for it at all. I’ll try your drinking water suggestion! Thank you!!

I looked up collagen peptides and I didn’t know this but diverticulitis is caused by a buildup of collagen in the intestines so that was definitely the wrong thing for me to take. Just heard it helps with weight loss, but not something I can take apparently. I never knew there was a diverticulitis tea! Where do you get it from?
