Diverticulitis diet and flare app for iPhone. What can I eat
right now?

Most guidance moves through stages: clear liquids first, then low-residue foods such as eggs, white rice, tender chicken and ripe banana, then gradually adding fiber back. The app gives the exact list for the stage you are in today and explains why a food that is fine now may not be later. Follow the plan your own doctor gave you.

Large studies do not support lifelong avoidance, and this advice has persisted long after the evidence moved. The app explains what the research actually found and why these foods are only left out during one temporary stage. Your own clinician's advice comes first.

No, and it will never try. It cannot diagnose anything. If you have severe pain, a fever, bleeding, or cannot keep liquids down, contact your doctor or emergency services now. The app shows that guidance rather than a food list when you report those symptoms.

That is your decision with your clinician, not the app's. It shows what most people do and how many days you have been in the current stage, then waits for you to say you are feeling better. It never advances you automatically.

Your first flare is completely free with every stage unlocked. After that, a single $12.99 purchase unlocks future flares permanently. We chose a one-time purchase rather than a subscription because this audience has had enough of recurring charges.

Yes. There is no account, your records stay on your iPhone, and there are no ads or third-party trackers. The App Store privacy label reads Data Not Collected.

For an uncomplicated flare treated at home, pain usually starts to ease within two to three days and most people are largely settled within one to two weeks, with tiredness lagging several weeks behind. A flare that has not improved after two or three days, or that is getting worse, is a reason to contact your doctor rather than wait.

Diverticulosis is the presence of small pouches in the colon wall, which is common with age and usually causes no symptoms. Diverticulitis is when one becomes inflamed or infected. Most people with diverticulosis never have a flare, though published estimates of how many do vary widely, from an older figure of up to a quarter down to around one in twenty-five in more recent long-term work.

Seek urgent care for severe or worsening abdominal pain, a fever, rectal bleeding, persistent vomiting, or if you cannot keep liquids down. These can indicate complications that need treatment rather than rest and a soft diet. If you are unsure, that uncertainty is itself a reason to call.
