Great resource!
I recently experienced my first flare up from a diagnosis of diverticulitis. Other than reading info on-line and in a Merck medical summary, I was at a loss figuring out how to recover from this painful condition. My doctor said that I needed to be on a liquid diet "until I felt better" and then gradually resume a high fiber diet. Unfortunately, that was the extent of information the medical group provided. The reviews of this guide were mixed; however, I found the guide extremely helpful! I highly recommend it for the "no-nonsense" approach to understand the disease and the details of various food groups suggested for recovery and prevention. The recipes are also very good with details of the macronutrients, omegas and fiber content. I will definitely be using this frequently!

Not what I was looking for
Rated this a 3 star because I was expecting as much info on diverticulosis as diverticulitis. This wasn't so. About 2/3 of book was recipes. So, if a person wants to have recipes for this disease, then they would like this book.

Finally I have good information
First to be said, this book is easy to read, it is not a textbook. This book contains current information and recommendations. I appreciated the details listed for foods containing high fiber, the ratios for the Omega 3’s and Omega 6’s. I cheered when I read I could consume chia seeds! And I really appreciated the section on what to eat when I was experiencing an attack, and when and how to progress to the next level, and also when to return to the high fiber diet. So pleased I found this book.

good basic information
I found the information well organized and appreciated the diet suggestions. Just diagnosed with little info after the 72 hrs of clear liquid- so this was helpful
