If fiber supplements cause blockage, what else should I take for my diverticulosis?

I also have lesions all over my stomach, so I am not always able to take some meds or treatments. When I take FiberCon or Metamucil, they bloat me and I become swollen because the fiber builds up and is not easily released.

Make sure you drink alot of water after taking your supplements. You need to have moisture in your bowels to move the fiber on through.
