Greasy and spicy doesn't impact you with diverticulosis. Diverticulosis is asymptomatic...that is.. no symptoms. What you need to do is prevent its development into diverticulitis. So you need to make sure you take in plenty of fiber both soluble and insoluable. Diverticulosis is caused by slow moving feces through your system. Drink plenty of water, fiber, fresh vegetables and fruit. Diverticulosis isn't IN your stomach it is only found in your large intestine, the last part of your digestive system.
You might want to ask your doctor to check you for other digestive orders such as ulcers, or IBS.
And as others here have said - no small nuts, seeds or popcorn kernels as they can plug the diverticuli and cause infection.
