Q: I just had surgery and was told to go on a high fiber/low fat diet would be good for severe diverticulitis. What cook book would you suggest or what diet plan would be good? - Patti

 A: There are a couple of diet plans that may be helpful to you. The appropriately-named High Fiber Diet is one that comes to mind. Denise Austin’s Fit Forever Program also incorporate high fiber foods and complex carbohydrates and discourages the consumption of fatty food. Dr. Phil McGraw’s Ultimate Weight Solution diet encourages the consumption of high fiber foods as well.
