Diverticular Disease & Nutrition Support

Why did the client contact us?

A 71-year-old client presented to our clinic seeking guidance on nutrition and diverticular disease, with concerns around bowel health and reducing the risk of future flare-ups.

What did we find?

We identified opportunities to improve overall dietary quality, fibre and fluid intake, while addressing some misconceptions around diverticular disease and food.

Our treatment plan

Through dietetic appointments, we developed an individualised nutrition plan focusing on:

  • Optimising fibre and fluid intake
  • Supporting regular bowel habits
  • Improving overall dietary quality
  • Providing guidance around managing nutrition during periods of flares and remission
  • Reducing unnecessary dietary restriction

Results

With ongoing dietetic support, the client reported improved bowel habits and greater confidence managing their diverticular disease through nutrition, with a better understanding of how to support their long-term digestive health.
