Although aging may contribute to colon problems, what you eat makes the real difference in the health of your colon. Persons suffering with this problem need to avoid seeds, corn and nuts.

If you have diverticulosis, the two biggest keys to controlling it are fiber (roughage) and liquid. Fiber absorbs water as it travels through your colon, helping your stool stay soft and move smoothly with less pressure. Eating more high fiber foods and drinking more liquids can often keep diverticulosis in check. Serious cases of diverticulosis may require stool softeners or antispasmodic medications for pain.
