Diverticulitis is something more serious, requiring antibiotics and medical care. But, same diet as for IBS will also help him feel better.

He needs to be especially careful to get lots of soluble fiber (which actually helps prevent diverticulosis in the first place). But, he needs to be careful with insoluble fiber, especially small tough particles like seed hulls. They can get trapped in the pockets (diverticuli) and cause problems. If he follows the insoluble fiber rules for Eating for IBS that will really help.
