I don't have diverticulosis, so cannot address many of your questions, but Atkins, including NANY, is all about customizing it to your needs. If you cannot tolerate the foods on a particular rung for whatever reason, you may skip it. You can also put the rungs somewhat "out of order".

When I frequented another site, most people added another 5 g per day of foundation vegetables as their first rung of the ladder. Some next added berries and melons; others added nuts and seeds; others added cottage cheese or yogurt. Make Atkins work for your particular sensitivities.
