Q. My Dad has bleeding diverticulitis. What are the long-term effects of this illness?

And what changes does he need to make to his diet to prevent flare-ups?

His current diet is as follows: porridge made with water and tea in morning with sugar to taste; at 10am he has white bread toasted; 1pm white bread again and tea, maybe sausages; 4pm he may have tea and more bread; at 6pm he has his dinner of red meat and potatoes. He is not great on veg but he has stopped eating chocolate.
