Is It OK To Eat Chocolate Rice Cakes With Uncomplicated Pancolonic Dulverticular Disease?
Since I have been diagnosed with uncomplicated pancolonic dulverticular disease, I have eating at least half a packet of Kallo chocolate rice cake thins most days.
Perhaps, the small amount of dark chocolate soothes my gut?
What does Google AI think about the title of this post?
Yes, it is generally considered OK to eat chocolate rice cakes with uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease (diverticulosis), especially if you are not experiencing a flare-up.
Diverticular disease guidelines for symptom-free individuals recommend a healthy, balanced, high-fiber diet, and there is no evidence that specific foods like nuts, seeds, or plain rice cakes cause harm or trigger flare-ups.
Whilst they don’t seem to cause harm or flare up, I shall continue to eat them.
I did ask Google AI “Do small amounts of dark chocolate soothe uncomplicated pancolonic dulverticular disease?” and I received this answer.
Small amounts of dark chocolate are not a treatment to “soothe” Uncomplicated Pancolonic Diverticular Disease; however, it can generally be included in the diet as part of a high-fiber approach for managing the condition. There is no evidence that it, or any specific food, causes or soothes the condition.
It doesn’t appear it will do any harm though!
