Diverticulitis to decrease stool in the colon

Diverticula are small, bulging pouches that can form in the lining of the digestive

system. They're found most often in the lower part of the large intestine

(colon). This condition is called diverticulosis.

Nutrition therapy for diverticulitis is a temporary measure to give your digestive

system a chance to rest. Eat small amounts until bleeding and diarrhea subside.

In some cases, one or more of the pouches become inflamed or infected. This is

known as diverticulitis.

This is because clear liquids are easily digested and help clean out the body's intestinal

tract.

A clear liquid diet consists of clear liquids — such as water, broth and plain gelatin — that are

easily digested and leave no undigested residue in your intestinal tract. Your doctor

may prescribe a clear liquid diet before certain medical procedures or if you have certain

digestive problems.

Clear liquids provide calories, electrolytes, and water, which means they can help nourish the

body and prevent dehydration. Clear liquid diets are safe for short-term use under the

guidance of a doctor. A clear liquid diet may vary, depending on why a doctor has

recommended it.
