I have diverticulitis and started antibiotics yesterday. Can I eat watermelon in the first few days? I have been eating broth and drinking a lot of water.

Diverticulitis is inflammation, infection, or both of one or more balloon-like sacs (diverticula). Diverticulitis usually affects the large intestine (colon). Left lower abdominal pain, tenderness, and fever are the typical symptoms. You can eat watermelon.
