There are many vegetarian diet plans that work well with diverticulitis. A vegetarian (or vegan) diet is low in fat and high in fiber , two things you want to avoid if you have diverticulitis.

To begin, cook rice as you normally would. On low to medium heat, add the olive oil and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture just to a boil then cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Some people prefer brown rice over white rice, so you can always prepare it that way if you want. If you have an Instant Pot , use the BAM function on “Normal” mode for 18 minutes. At this point, remove from heat and stir in 1 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar . Allow it to sit uncovered for at least 8 hours (the longer it sits out, the more sour it becomes and the more beneficial it will be for your digestive tract).
Now, onto the main course:
– 1/2 Tbsp unrefined coconut oil (anti-fungal and anti-bacterial qualities)
– 1 tsp turmeric powder (adds a rich flavor and also provides curcumin, which is thought to have many health benefits such as fighting cancer cells)
– Sea salt to taste (adds essential minerals that aid in digestion) Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes Total time: 40 minutes We start by melting the coconut oil with the turmeric. This mixture has a yummy curry flavor on its own, but if you want to make this recipe even healthier – or if you don’t like curry – you can make a second version by omitting the turmeric and only adding the salt. We will enjoy both variations, so it’s really up to you! When you’re ready, add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until carrots are soft enough for your liking (mine were tender in about 20 minutes). To finish up this magnificent meal, simply pour the mixture into your bowl of rice then sprinkle on some fresh chopped basil or cilantro . You can also top with some cheese if that makes it taste better to you.
