I eat oatmeal for breakfast - with prunes and blueberries mixed in. Prunes and blueberries are the highest food in antioxidants - these have shown to prevent cancer. Try to avoid flour products that are bleached - that is all the fiber and nutrients have been removed. Also, are you taking a multi-vitamin everyday? This is cheap insurance against all the processed food we all consume.

Good Luck!

Robert a high fiber is probably a no-no for people suffering from diverticulitis, especially during a flare up.

Water tastes good--where do you live that water tastes bad?
