MY MOTHER IS 50 YRS OLD AND HAS JUST HAD A BOUT WITH DIVERTICULITIS. WE CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WILL AGREE WITH HER. SHE LIVED OFF OF FAT FREE PUDDING AND WHEAT BREAD FOR OVER A MONTH AND HAS LOST 40 POUNDS IN 5 WEEKS. ALL SHE CAN SAY IS THAT SHE IS HUNGRY, AND IT HURTS HER TO THINK OF WHAT SHE USED TO BE ABLE TO EAT.SHE NOW EATS SOUP, VERY BLAND, AND HER DOCTOR SEEMS TO BE OF NO HELP, HE JUST SAYS STAY WITH A HIGH FIBER DIET... THAT LEAVES ALOT OF ROOM FOR ?? BREAD IS THE ONLY THING THAT DOES NOT DOUBLE HER OVER.WHAT ABOUT ALCOHOL? IS SHE EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO DRINK COFFEE OR AN EVENING COCKTAIL AGAIN? SHOULD SHE WEAN HERSELF BACK INTO A REG DIET?
