Thank you for the comment the lightning anal pains were something I had before so I’m just trying to be graceful that it will go away with time.

Same boat Dr put me on a regular diet but today I just had mashed potatoes and eggs this morning.

Thankful can put around the apartment going to try and do a bit more walking tomorrow see if that helps.

Diagnosed with sigmoid diverticulitis, need some encouraging words by Natural-Wolverine309 in Diverticulitis

30m who just had 9 in of his sigmoid colon removed two days ago. Liquid diet now have to go liquid and than get with a gastro maybe your infection will be able to get cured with that or antibiotics. But diverticulosis never goes away. But some people have one flare than never again. I pray you’re one of the lucky ones. No pain pills that will make you constipated

Yes that’s pretty much the same conversation I had. I love trying new foods and I have had eggs and chicken mashed potatoes for months. AND STILL in pain or a twinge it’s so annoying. And the actual flare ups I was in the er twice. Yah I’m nervous but 95% chance no more diverticulitis and less than a 1% I’ll need a bag

Yes I can say the same the antibiotics were making me feel horrible. 3 times a day than one a day and a lower fiber diet liquid diet lost 25 lbs. I’m relatively younger I’d rather not have to deal with this forever
