In this episode, Prof Clare Collins and Ilyse Jones discuss diverticulitis, a common gastrointestinal condition, particularly as you age. They explore its causes, symptoms, and the importance of dietary management. The conversation emphasises the need for medical advice and the role of fiber in both acute flare-ups (where fibre intake is reduced) and prevention (where fibre needs to be high). They also discuss the stigma around talking about bowel health with healthcare professionals.
