AVOID beans and peas, coarse grains, coconut, corn or popcorn, dried fruits, skins on vegetables and fruits, tomatoes, strawberries, pickles, and cucumbers.

Ask your doctor about eating nuts or seeds.

Do not drink too much coffee, tea, or alcohol

Diverticulitis or diverticulosis?

Usually diverticulosis develops first, and can lead to diverticulitis.

I was diagnosed with both, spent a day in the hospital over it.

They gave me 2 diff. IV antibiotics and sent me home with 2 more oral antibiotics.

Its been 3 days and I'm still recovering.

CT scan showed a 3-4cm sausage shaped Diverticuli and a 10cm inflammation in the mid colon.

Dude we feel for you but PLEASE.....

NO SAUSAGE IN THE COLON TALK?

From the brief bit I read on the Mayo Clinic website on my lunch break it looks entirely treatable with diet if caught early but really just did a brief read through.

I have it too. Lots of conflicting stories/doctors opinions. I stay away from all seeds and popcorn but still eat regular corn no problem. First two times it put me in the hospital with extreme pain and over a 100 degree temperature. Bonded with the doctor as he shoved his finger up my arse. Small flare ups result in pain killers and antibiotics. My doctor says if symptoms happen more than 4-5 times they go in and remove part of my intestine.

Apparently it can be pretty serious if not treated. My buddy has it. Erupted on him a few years ago while fly-fishing. Barely made it to the hospital. Removed almost a foot of intestine. Had to completely change his diet.

Take care of it, and yourself bro.

This is what happened to a coworker of mine. After his last stay in the hospital he decided to go with surgery to fix the problem.

The pain and general uncomfortableness are starting to subside....

I kinda wish they would go in and just take the trouble area out......

they took a section of my wife's bowel out 3 years ago and she has been pain free since. the surgery was supposed to be labro but turned into traditional. recovery is relatively quick.
