A high-fiber diet is encouraged for the patient with diverticular disease.Eating whole-grain cereals and breads,as well as fruits such as apples,seedless berries,peaches,and pears adds fiber.High-fiber vegetables-squash,broccoli,cabbage,and spinach-and legumes,including dried beans,peas,and lentils,provide bulk that decreases constipation and speeds the transit time in the intestine.The meal with a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread and pears is the only meal choice with multiple high-fiber foods (bread and pears).
