Brief Answer:
No issue

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. With diverticulitis, diet and lifestyle adjustments are important part of the treatment plan. A mainstay is preferring fiber and fluids, and natural fresh fruits and vegetables etc. Meat and pasta etc are not forbidden but not to be taken in abundance as these two foods can irritate bowels due to their tough ingredients and less fiber involvement. Otherwise, slight use of them wont do much harm, or you may combine its use with fibrous foods and have plenty of fluids with it, i am sure it wont do any harm.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

regards
Khan
