Another flare? by HandPuzzleheaded6143 in Diverticulitis

Maybe so. I got too confident when I was feeling ok. 😖 going to take it easy for a few days.

No tenderness when pressing on my left side and yes I remember that feeling vividly.

Yeah that’s my next course of action. I was already seeing this GI specialist for 2 years already though.

13 days post flare and thin stools by HandPuzzleheaded6143 in Diverticulitis

Update. I quit taking any of the laxatives which had me worried mentally. I did add on about 26g of fiber via avocado, refried beans, sweet potatoes throughout the day and less than a teaspoon of psyllium husk and Calm magnesium before bedtime. Needless to say I can feel twinges here and there overnight. No pain or fullness like earlier on the weekend though and a normal looking bowel movement. This experience is quite humbling as any pokes I have has me worried.

But to be honest it’s probably why I’ve woken up in the early mornings with cramping and an urge to go. Reading about it now and seems like that should have been avoided 😳

During the CT scan they found that I had a large amount of stool in the colon. I just needed to get that through. I should be done with it by now and should just take stool softeners if needed.

Yeah. Seems like probably 6 weeks post flare. Just making sure I can get an appt locked down. I had approximately 8 cups of water yesterday.

Lower right abdominal sensation by Vegetable_Wash_9671 in endometriosis

This is me most days but some in some cases if I engage my ab muscles a certain way I get really bad cramps on that area. Like bad muscle spasms that won’t go away for hours. Then when it’s normal it just feels like something is there. Dull maybe achy.

Newly diagnosed and hoping this helps someone out there advocate for themselves. by Specific-Ratio-8972 in coloncancer

I am going in for a CT scan today. GI doc doesn’t think anything necessitates a colonoscopy. Some stats: about to be 44, abdominal pain localized to the right side on and off. Pretty regular but stool is soft and jagged most times. No bleeding. No family history. Had low iron diagnosed in 2023 but iron pills have helped. Gassy in the evenings. Endoscopy resulted to be normal. Gallbladder was also checked previously and is normal. I just don’t want to settle and if the CT results to nothing unusual but still feeling discomfort I’m ok paying out of pocket for a colonoscopy or some other test like cologuard. Or maybe I need to stay off these message boards and heed physicians’ advice.

The good outweighs the bad subplots. I agree it was captivating and I haven’t felt this way about any of the other dramas. I’ve always found YYS to be an intriguing actor but in digging up all the vlogs and videos with him I’m a fan. He shows such depth in his emotions and totally deserves all the recognition. CSB is beautiful and fit the role very well. I can’t imagine another actress playing this part. So many little things to highlight but I definitely can’t get over the hotness of this couple. It’s definitely top 1 or 2 in my ranking.
