From your experience, what can you tell me about a very bad bout?

Painful. See Dr. ASAP if you haven't already done so. Will take antibiotics a few days before any relief is to be had. If your diet consists of nuts of any kind, say goodby to them. Stock up

On toilet tissue. HTH

It hurt, and they stuck a probe up my azz. And the diet they want you to be on sucks, so I ignore it.

Ooooh. Thankfully I didn't get probed. Did take a round of ciphro iirc. Got to be careful about what you eat. Choose your level of pain based on what to limit in your diet. I'm at the peanut free level.

Anytime you go to the grocery get a pack of toilet paper. You never know when that loving feeling will strike. Drink lots of fluid so when it does, you don't dehydrate.

One more thing, invest in a comfortable toilet seat, keep your favorite bathroom stocked with reading material and Preperation H. That should cover everything.

It never gave me the chits or anything. Just pain when something gets stuck in my intestines.

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night...:-"

Oh wait...nevermind![frypan]

If it's somewhat similar to diverticulitis you're in for a treat. What the diet is key. I had to stop with seeds and nuts and increase my fiber intake. Even after years of watching that I just had a foot of my intestine removed due to it. Hope it's a small attack and goes away for you!

OOPS, I made a mistake. I had/have diverticulitis, not colitis.

Sorry Robert, no need to stock up on the Charmin and Preparation H.

No seeds, pulp and low fiber. Comes down to eating pancakes and rice. That worked for 2 weeks.
