Hi BCRandall,

My husband is just getting over a bout of diverticulitus which he was hospitalized for. He had been on Atkins about 4 wks. The surgeon that came to see him told him he did not believe it was Atkins that caused it, but we were not taking any fiber suppliments at the time. His recommendation was to heal and then start the plan again using the fiber suppliments everyday. He isn't there yet, but I have begun to take the suppliments. It seems to work better for me to take them at night instead of in the morning.

Anyway take care of yourself.

JoAnn
