Anyone have diverticulitis?

My aunt might have it, the drs have her on meds but she wanted to know about foods to avoid.
Ive googled it and cant find any good sites. Can anyone help her?

Did you see the Mayo Clinic's page about the Diverticulitis Diet? http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/diverticulitis-diet/my00736

The things she should eat are similar to what my husband has had to deal with (he had ulcerative colitis and eventually had his entire large intestine removed, so still has to eat carefully since he only has a small intestine now). Basically she needs to eat things that are easy to digest, so low fiber and roughage, soft fruits and cooked veggies without skin or seeds (like strawberries - seeds = bad/hard to digest).

Hope that helps and that your aunt feels better!
