Description
Diverticulitis can turn everyday eating into a source of anxiety and pain—especially when you’re told to “just avoid seeds and nuts” without any real plan. This cookbook offers a more thoughtful approach, combining practical nutrition guidance with simple, comforting recipes that support healing at every stage.
Functional nutritionist Terri Ward walks you through how to use food to help calm inflammation, support your microbiome, and gradually rebuild a more varied, enjoyable way of eating. Whether you’re in the middle of a flare, easing back into solid foods, or working on long-term maintenance, you’ll find ideas that meet you where you are.
Inside, you’ll find:
-
A clear, phase-based approach.
Learn how to adjust your diet during a diverticulitis flare, as symptoms ease, and in the maintenance phase—so you’re not left guessing what to eat. -
A practical healing meal plan.
A multi-phase plan to help you move from soothing, easy-to-digest foods toward more diverse, fiber-rich meals as your gut tolerates them. -
80+ simple, nourishing recipes.
Straightforward recipes made with real ingredients, many of which can be adapted for low-FODMAP needs, IBS, or blood sugar support. -
Tools to understand your triggers.
Guidance on tracking food reactions, identifying patterns, and building an eating style that works for your unique body.
This cookbook is for anyone who wants more than a short list of “foods to avoid.” It’s a roadmap to using food as part of a long-term strategy to calm symptoms, support gut healing, and feel more confident about what’s on your plate.
