Dietary considerations for a patient with diverticulosis (without evidence of inflammation)include foods that are soft but high in fiber,such as prunes,raisins,and peas.Unprocessed bran can be added to soups,cereals,and salads to give added bulk to the diet.Fiber should be in-creased in the diet slowly to prevent excess gas and cramping.C.Cheese can cause constipation and should be avoided.
