3. Apples
Apples may keep the doctor away nine out of 10 times. Still, if the 10th time is a flare-up of diverticulitis, apple juice is the best one can do. Why? Granted, apples are low in calories and rich in potassium and Vitamin K. They aid in lowering cholesterol and lessening the chance of diabetes. To that end, they are full of soluble fiber that helps slow the intake of glucose by the bloodstream.

On the other hand, that same fiber wreaks the same havoc on the large intestine that legumes and grains do. No apples for that reason.
