Re: Diverticuli - Herbs to avoid?

 Hvergarth said: ""And any coarsely ground herbs, especially if they have small seeds such as hawthorn berry.""

^ That wouldn't include Hawthorn/CoQ10 capsules from NOW, would it?

Capsuled herbs are generally not a problem because the herbs are ground down to a very fine mesh in most cases so the herbs flow better in the machinery and make it easier to get close to the actual milligrams that are supposed to be in the capsule.  The problem is if you buy ground herbs for your own capsules.  Not all herb suppliers have the same grinding specs and some of the powders can be too coarse for diverticulitis, especially if the herb contains small seeds.
