I can’t go off LC or I will feel terrible and gain a lot of weight. All my carb eating caused the Diverticulitis in the first place. When I had my colostomy my doctor said I had the pouches and my mom always had trouble with it, also two of my brothers.

I think too much cheese causes constipation and could cause a flare up. Some people stay away from fiber, I am in the middle with some vegetable fiber, but don’t overdo it. I think overeating and getting constipated causes me a flare up, if I catch it early then I fast until the pain goes away. That’s what I’ve been doing for mine. As long as it’s not severe pain I can handle it by fasting.

Like you say we’re all different. Once you have it though it’s a lifelong issue. I don’t think carb eating helps, so I would not go back to carbs myself.
