Hey you guys
I am asked this at least once a week so I wanted to post it
What are the factors that in studies have been associated with increased risk for diverticulitis
1) As many of you know diets low in dietary fiber and high in refined carbohydrates (white rice, white bread, sugary cereals, and pasta and noodles made from white flour)
