Sure, I do it all of the time and I have Diverticulitis.
In general, treatment depends on the severity of your signs and symptoms and whether this is your first attack of diverticulitis. If your symptoms are mild, a liquid or low-fiber diet and antibiotics may be all you need. But if you're at risk of complications or have recurrent attacks of diverticulitis, you may need more advanced care.
Home care
If your condition calls for home treatment, expect to remain quiet for a few days. You'll also temporarily need to avoid all whole grains, fruits and vegetables so that your colon can rest and heal. Once your symptoms improve ― often in two to four days ― you can gradually start increasing the amount of high-fiber foods in your diet.
In addition, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics to help kill the bacteria causing your infection. Even if you start feeling better, be sure to finish your entire course of medication. Stopping too soon could cause your infection to come back or could contribute to creating strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
If you have moderate or severe pain, your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Your doctor may also prescribe a more potent pain medication, although these medications tend to be constipating and may aggravate the problem.
Hospitalization
If you have a more severe attack that includes or puts you at risk of bowel obstruction or peritonitis, you may require hospitalization and intravenous antibiotics.
Surgery
If you have a fistula or recurring diverticulitis, your doctor may recommend surgery to remove the diseased part of your colon. There are two types of surgery:
Primary bowel resection. This is the standard surgery for people with diverticulitis. Your surgeon removes the diseased part of your intestine and then reconnects the healthy segments of your colon (anastomosis). This allows you to have normal bowel movements. Depending on the amount of inflammation, you may have open (traditional) surgery or laparoscopic surgery. In open surgery, your surgeon makes one long incision in your abdomen, while laparoscopic surgery is performed through three or four tiny incisions. You'll heal faster and recover more quickly with laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery may not be an option if you are very overweight or have extensive inflammation.
Bowel resection with colostomy. This surgery may be necessary if you have so much inflammation in your colon that it's not possible to rejoin your colon and rectum. During a colostomy, your surgeon makes an opening (stoma) in your abdominal wall. The unaffected part of your colon is then connected to the stoma, and waste passes through the opening into a bag. A colostomy may be temporary or permanent. Several months later ― once the inflammation has healed ― your surgeon may be able to perform a second operation to reconnect your colon and rectum.
What out for the sesame seeds on the bun if you do. Diverticulitis is controllable if you know what I mean. If you eat indigestibles they will get caught in those little pouches and that's not good. Not to be your doc or anything, shoot don't know how bad you have it but, I eat allot of fibrous food to scrub the bad away. good luck.
The only thing that might bother you is the seeds in the tomato or on the bun, or the lettuce.
