Twice I got a unbearable attach from Chinese food that had chili pepper (at least I think that's what caused it). <br/><br/>The last time was a Burrito so either the beans or the spicy sauce made of peppers/onions (I didn't see any seeds)<br/><br/>Does anyone here get an attach without eating anything related to seeds/nuts? Every major article and doctor who is under 60 seems to say it's an old wives tale HOWEVER these things will irritate you if you are already having the attack. This has driven me crazy as well.

Does anyone here get an attach without eating anything related to seeds/nuts? Every major article and doctor who is under 60 seems to say it’s an old wives tale HOWEVER these things will irritate you if you are already having the attack.

I have been slowly recovering. Yesterday I had a flare-up of the same symptoms. I'm not sure my colon surgeon is knowledgeable enough to help me avoid further problems. Would a gastro enterologist be more appropriate to see? Concerning diverticulitis: I had colon surgery on August 3rd for diverticulitis. I have been slowly recovering.

And it is certainly what my Doctor said, you can eat what you want with seeds and or nuts not posing as the real culprit. However, since my first flair up and diagnosis of diverticulitis I have had three follow up times of ilness. Once when I had eaten cocktail nuts, once with a nut infused cake and most recently with fresh cucumbers. Never did I eat in excess these items because I was trying/testing the waters. So to me the "old wives" tale is true.<br/>Thanks for allowing my input. You may well have data that indicates this old “wives tale” is not true.

I have dozens of patients asking me if they should continue avoiding eating popcorn and celery, etc. because their previous physician said so, due to their diverticular disease. I had read an article once that avoidance of seeds and nuts, etc. in diverticular disease is unproven. Can anyone point me to such an article so that I could post this in my office? Thanks!
