Cholesterol? Haven’t checked.
Diverticulitis? I believe staying away from grain has helped tremendously. The episode I was worried about in May never developed. I ate cornmeal breaded catfish in November (allowed myself this favorite food on a trip to Nashville) and was thinking a bout was coming on the next morning, but it never developed. That was the first grain I’d had since the spring and the last Ive had since. I believe grains are so inflammatory to me as to be poison. While I know diverticulitis could come back (I once went two years between bouts) I believe I’m healthier without the grains.

Thanks for asking!

Live well.
