a patient with a history of diverticular disease asks what can be done to minimize acute symptoms. what will the provider recommend to this patient?
avoiding saturated fats and red meat
consuming a diet high in fiber
taking an anticholinergic medication
using bran to replace high - fiber foods

Explanation:

A diet high - in fiber helps keep stools soft and promotes regular bowel movements, which is beneficial for minimizing symptoms in diverticular disease. Avoiding saturated fats and red meat is more related to heart - health and some cancer prevention. Anticholinergic medications are used for symptom control during acute attacks rather than long - term minimization. Bran is a high - fiber food, but it's not about replacing other high - fiber foods but rather including a variety of them.

Answer:

B. Consuming a diet high in fiber
