Are you implying my diet is not "good" because I'm prone to diverticulitis? Fiber is fine for some people, but not for me or others like me. There are a lot of us out there, by the way. Just because Dr. Atkins or <fill in the blank with the name of your favorite expert> says to eat 3 cups of veggies a day, for me that would put me into the hospital FAST.

Back in the 1990s when I first learned about LC eating and started practicing it, I used the Atkins approach and started eating the amounts of vegetables he recommended. NEVER was I more constipated! I might even go so far as to say that the damage that was done at that time could have contributed to my issues now with diverticulitis. My first attack in 2014 landed me in the hospital on IVs for four days.

I'm just saying that eating a lot of fiber is not necessarily a good thing for everyone. Go by what works for you. If fiber helps you, great. If it lands you in the hospital, I'd say that's not so great.
