Probably not. However, it is only recently being determined and accepted in the medical community that the long-held idea that seeds (and nuts, etc.) cause the inflammation and flareups in diverticulosis is probably not entirely correct. Studies are finding no conclusive evidence that directly links eating these foods to higher rates of diverticulitis. However, particles, such as seeds, may contribute to already irritated or inflamed intestinal tissue or they may be more of a problem in some people than others.
According to the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research:
"Diverticula usually develop when naturally weak places in your colon give way under pressure. This causes marble-sized pouches to protrude through the colon wall.
Exactly how diverticula become inflamed or infected isn't clear. One theory is that the increased pressure in the colon can weaken the wall of the diverticula, leading to infection. Another is that the narrow openings of diverticula may trap fecal matter, which can lead to infection. Or an obstruction in the narrow opening of a diverticulum may reduce blood supply to the area, which leads to inflammation.
In the past, doctors thought that nuts, seeds, popcorn and corn played a role in causing diverticulitis by getting trapped in the diverticula. However, research has shown that these foods aren't associated with an increased risk of diverticulitis."
Bottom line, if eating these seeds and similar foods seems to cause an inflammation in your case, then try to avoid them. All-in-all keeping a good fiber diet and following all other physician advice should help to prevent flareups in diverticulosis.
