I have Diverticulitis and have been on a clear liquid diet for 3 days and have now been on a low residue diet for 1 day but haven't had a firm stool since the liquid diet (it's more like soft serve ice cream) is this right or should i be worried? i have no pain but from what I've been reading i shouldn't have diarrhea?
p.s They gave me lots of Apple juice over those 3 days on the clear liquid diet could that be the cause?
Diverticulitis and diarrhea?

When they tell you you can go back to normal eating your going to want to up your fiber to close to 28 to 30 grams of fiber and drink plenty of water. And keep it there until you start to feel better, it you want a high fiber diet from now on to avoid more problems.

If you only had clear liquids for three days that's why.
