My doctor told me "soft fleshy" seeds were ok. She said they were cucumber, zucchini, pickles etc.... I have not given up Italian food so I have plenty of tomato sauce that consists of tomato seeds. The doctor said no tomato seeds. I eat that so often and as far as I know it has never affected me. I don't like corn chips, but I have wondered about that because they are so hard. Most of all I always stay away from corn. Maybe someone else knows more about Mexican foods.

I had no issues with Most things..I don't know about hominy as I don't even know what it is !!

Corn bothered me..I have eaten Corn my Entire life, while having the Diverticulosis, never had an Issue until Mega Stress hit me..after that I could no longer Tolerate Corn, Seeds.

I have always had an issue with Nuts as well, but I had No Idea Why..I no longer do since I have had the surgery...but for a good Decade prior to my first attack, whenever I would eat Nuts, I would get a temporary hot burning pain down by my Pelvic Bone.

You will just have to keep a Journal of how you feel when you eat certain Foods..for at least 24 hours after the food is eaten...soon a pattern will emerge, and you will know what to stay away from.

I ate Pickles with No issues at All...seeds in them..but they never bothered me in the least. I Never tried the seeds from Cucs..I always cleaned em out.

I'd recommend that anyone avoid corn, and its derivatives, with Diverticulitis. I'll have to admit my bias though as I'm allergic to corn.
On principle, however, I'd recommend avoiding corn meal as it's hard to digest and could be rough on the digestive tract.

SEE! That is what I am wondering... ABout corn being "hard to digest" -is this true??? So no more chips/salsa? ???????

I am Latina - you just dont know what that does to me........ Enchiladas, fish tacos, tacos, taquitos, tamales........

This stinx.

The paperwork that the doc gave me said no seeds, no nuts, and that tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, strawberries, raspberries and pickles were fine to eat. I don't have a problem with them.

I guess I wont know until I try - I will definitely keep my Food Journal going!!!!!

When I eat tostadas it does hurt me but I do feel them go by my trouble spots.Although some of the hotter green salsas burn in my trouble spot.

I have not had any trouble with corn on the cob. But I had better keep a log before I commit to that. I only eat soft corn tortillas now and they never hurt me. No problem with squash or pickles.

I can't eat corn nuts or popcorn any more or I get sick fast.

You know I have been getting sick from shrimp on and off but don't understand why.
