                        I've had diverticulitis for at least 15 years.  I was told at first not to eat anything raw, now they are saying you can in moderation. As far as bananas I never heard that you couldn't eat them, but they do cause constipation.  What I do is chew up any raw foods real good and they seem to digest better.  I hope this helps.
