Frederick,

Yes, you may have alcohol in small quantities! It may actually help relax colon spasms. Don't have more than two drinks daily however. Be sure to stay away from the java. Caffine can cause diarrhea and the other chemicals in coffee beans may cause cramping.

Good luck!

Beer and wine don't have seeds or nuts so they shouldn't be a problem, but check with your doctor to be sure.

If you have diverticulitis and are taking medication for it
it is recomended that you refrain from drinking any alchohol
