			<description><![CDATA[Hi Mary Ann, 
 My husband just had his <a href="http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Surgery" onclick="treatmentHotLink('http://dailystrength.org/treatments/Surgery')" class="treatmentlink" title="Learn more about Surgery">surgery</a> last week (May 6th)2008. He's had three attacks since Oct.07. Fortunately, it never went into a bad infection to warrant a colostomy bag. He did have to be on meds and antibiotics quite a bit since Oct.

			<description><![CDATA[PS:  A high fiber (35+ grams per day) diet IS recommended to prevent diverticulitis, unless you are having an acute attack, then you need to scale back to soft/bland or clear liquids to give the bowel a rest.

			<description><![CDATA[I agree with the person who said peanuts get him everytime. They get me everytime too as does sweetcorn. I have just had my first "bad" episode which resulted in 2 lots of antibiotics and I have never felt so ill and in so much pain ever. If staying away from nuts helps i'll do it]]></description>
