While most fruits are beneficial for digestive health, due to their high fiber content, high-fiber foods can actually cause inflammation of the diverticula at times. That beind said, papayas have traditionally been recommended for the treatment of this particular inflammatory condition. They have unique organic acids, including its active ingredient, papain. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of papayas make them one of the best fruits to eat if you’re suffering from diverticulitis. Papayas may not be the neatest fruits to eat, but they can speed the healing process and get your digestion back on track.
