...usually arising in the lower left abdomen; fever, nausea, vomiting may also be present. Fiber is a component of complex carbohydrates that the body cannot digest, is found in plant based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc. Fiber promotes regular bowel movements and keeps stools soft and bulky. When there is not enough fiber in the diet, stools become hard and could be difficult to pass through the colon. This puts pressure on the walls of the colon, which then may give out to form diverticula. While a diet high in fiber may help prevent diverticulosis and thus diverticulitis; a diet low in fiber may help reduce GI discomfort during flares of diverticulitis by reducing frequency of stools. While with Diverticulitis: Follow a low fiber diet (usually 10-15 grams of fiber per day) until your flares subside. Once symptoms resolve, gradually add high fiber foods one by one back into the diet (goal is to reach 30-35 grams of fiber per day). It may help to limit the following foods ONLY IF you have problems with diarrhea (may occur from infection or inflammation in the colon) and/or have gas, bloating, cramping. o Foods that are greasy, fried and sugary o Dairy with high amounts of lactose (the milk sugar in dairy) o Sweetened and caffeinated beverages: smoothies, sugary fruit juices, sodas, lattes, etc o Foods sweetened with isomalt, mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol (artificial sweeteners) Also...

...has a predilection for fresh fruits and vegetables or those processed at home. There is a sea change. People, are now increasingly going in for fresh fruit vending from kiosk fountains, which produce instant juices from fresh fruits in the presence of the consumer. It could be due to the non-availability of hygienically produced and well-preserved products with the use of preservatives. That is why some of the real but branded fruit juices launched in the late 1980s and early 1990s did not succeed. There has been a steady rise in the capacity, production and capacity utilisation in the fruit processing units. The processing capacity had gone up from 0.9 mn tonnes in 1990-91 to 2.1 mn tonnes in 1999-00. The capacity utilisation improved from 31% to 47%, with the production in 1999-00 estimated to have increased to 980,000 tonnes. The official reports do not show any substantial increase in total output although branded drinks do show a healthy improvement. There is no general acceptance of the product forms in the fruit drinks market. The consumer is basically concerned that it is a fruit juice and not a synthetically constituted product. Accordingly, the first segmentation is between real fruit drinks and synthetic drinks. The former are based on natural fruit pulp or juice. The others are synthetic products containing fruit flavours. Among the fruit juice beverages are fruit juices (Pepsi's Tropicana), nectars (Dabur's Real) and fruit drinks (Frooti and Slice). All...
