She should always follow the advice of her doctors, but there are somethings she can do to help. She needs a diet high in fiber and yogurt is good for the friendly bacteria that live in our digestive tracts. Plenty of water is essential. Stay away from foods with little seeds like berries, they get trapped in the intestinal lining and cause irritation and infection. Google it for more helpful info. Good luck, Gramma.
Go to the health food store and buy grandma some Marshmallow root capsules. They are inexpensive and can quickly restore the GI tract.

I have spoken to people who have had great success in treating Diverticulitis by taking a tea called Gumbi Gumbi from Australia.
Infact an ex sufferer is now growing Gumbi Gumbi trees because of his experience with this condition and the results of taking the tea as treatment for it.
Hope this is some help.
