Of course, a person with diverticulitis can still eat Mexican food. Before we delve into that, diverticulitis is a diverticular disease which can cause inflamed pouches in the lining of the large intestine. A person with diverticulitis will experience abdominal pain, nausea, fever, bloody bowel movements, fistula and abscess.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) specifically states that a person with diverticulitis does not have to avoid certain food, but he or she should consider eating certain food to a minimum. If you really want to eat Mexican food, do some research about Mexican dishes and those that are high in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs), high in fiber, high in fat, high in sugar, nuts, seeds and popcorn.
