Overview
Primary prevention of diverticulitis follows the prevention of constipation by using osmotic agents like lactulose, polyethylene glycol, or magnesium salts. A high fiber diet should be given until constipation improves. Using laxatives and drinking plenty of fluids daily is also helpful.

Primary prevention of the diverticulitis follows the prevention of constipation as follows:[1]
- Recent controlled studies have questioned the role of physical exercise in the prevention and management of chronic constipation, but exercise is often recommended by published materials on the subject.
- Hydrating agents as lactulose or glycols, bulk-forming as psyllium, and stimulants are recommended for prevention of the constipation.
- Drink plenty of fluids each day (at least 8 glasses of water per day).
- Prevention of the constipation by eating high fiber diet as vegetables.
- Exercise regularly.
