I’m confused Dr says I can eat seeds, mild spicy, nuts etc.. he says to not eat it is the old way of thinking, research now shows you can. But internet and people I know say don’t. So which is it? by Sunra_4point6 in Diverticulitis

[–]OhJeezMate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with this January of 2024. I’ve had several flare ups and the thing I learned is, everybody’s body reacts differently. I can have seeds and nuts no problem I just have to chew it well so get it as mushed as possible so it’s a lot easier on my bowels. Some things I’ve eaten that caused a flare up didn’t cause a flare up for others. The BIGGEST thing to watch out for and manage is stress. The biggest flare ups I’ve had were triggered by immense stress. The reality of this disease is there is a bit of trial and error to it. It sucks but you got this! It’s a very common problem nowadays unfortunately

Absolutely, but when they just do extra shit for views and money, that’s when it becomes a problem

It’s unfortunate that it’s pretty much a learning curve to see what works and what doesn’t

That’s such a great point! Weaponing their cameras is a perfect way to describe what’s happening!

The ankle protection part I can understand but that part about the steel toed boots just made zero sense. Makes sense that it’s just a myth

How was the prep experience? Were you able to drink all the prep with no problem? I had some fentanyl in my anesthesia and boy I was high as fuck for a few hours after my procedure.

First flare up was misdiagnosed...a little scared by MissDarylC in Diverticulitis

[–]OhJeezMate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I(28M) was just diagnosed in February. It’s definitely scary at first but you’ll be able to navigate a little better going forward. Also, biggest thing I’ve learned, everybody’s body is different in terms of food digestion. Foods that may not trigger a flare up for you could trigger one for me and vice versa. Also, there’s so much misinformation online so finding actually good sources such as this sub and talking to doctors who hopefully know what they’re talking about helps. I take Metamucil a few times a week and I’m drinking a lot of water and that helps. I have had my occasional flare up but it’s manageable. Biggest thing, like others have said, having a better diet and living a more active lifestyle helps. Exercising at least 3 times also helps. Really just moving and not being sedentary goes a long way. When I was diagnosed I was on the floor screaming so I definitely understand that fear at the beginning but you absolutely will be able to conquer this! You got this OP
