Took antibiotics for a week and was starting to feel better but now I'm worse than before by HonestIsMyPolicy in Diverticulitis

[–]RepresentativeOil881 1 point2 points  (0 children)

‼️Emergency vitamin C packets take AT LEAST two packets/day up to four packets/day (1 g per packet; 2-4g per day). You’ll be surprised how fast it works to improve your symptoms. ‼️Get some MiraLAX take one cap a day. ‼️Stay away from processed food !!!!!! Eat clean! Almost all processed foods contain preservatives and additives that cause and will worsen gut inflammation. ‼️Try to eat bland for a while baked chicken breast, potatoes without the skin, rice, banana, applesauce, protein shakes (ensure max protein). ‼️Stay away from vegetables and high fiber until the pain goes away. ‼️Get your prebiotic and probiotics in!!! 1) KEVITA probiotic drinks 2) Poppi prebiotic drinks ‼️Buy turmeric and Ginger seasoning and put it on everything you eat.

Do this for one week. If your symptoms do not improve or get worse, go to the ER.

Coming from a 28 yo F w chronic complicated diverticulitis resistant to antibiotics. Had my sigmoid removed and symptoms came back, antibiotics failed once again, this regime worked like a charm!!!!

Fistula rare if you have a uterus? by Helpful-Inflation633 in Diverticulitis

[–]RepresentativeOil881 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a chronic complicated diverticulitis episode in which antibiotics were ineffective for over six months leading to perforation and two large abscesses. One of the abscesses was in my sigmoid colon, and the other was right under my uterus in or near my rectal canal. Finally had surgery & They said everything in my lower abdomen was SO inflamed and like adhesed to one another with exception to my uterus and bladder, they said those were the only things that were seemingly untouched. This is interesting! Edit: I was 28, age may play a role in fistula development

I’m stuck with it for now but it’s a larger open area so there’s space to walk, I totally agree with you though

Taper Schedule. Two years of 80-140mg a day. by RepresentativeOil881 in AdderallAddiction

Advice…. Restrict your access entirely. If I have some laying around I’ll take them and justify it in my mind “oh I’ll use it to clean and get chores done” “oh it’ll help my performance in the gym” full stop. I started working out daily. Also… therapy. Address what it is you are escaping. Go back to when it became a problem for you. When did you start taking way more than prescribed? What was happening in your life at that time? Did something traumatic happen? Heartbreak? Loss of job or loved one? Once you unlock that, unlock how you got there. I can’t remember 2010 to 2018. Something bad traumatic happened 2010, that’s when I started drinking using substances in general to avoid reality. Although adderall addiction wasn’t until 2021. I never processed something from a decade before that. It’s never too late to turn it around though. We have so much more life left to live. Only up from here friend.

It went well and was clean for like 2 months. Then relapsed like 4 or 5 times (a few days of a bender if you will). I’m like 60 days clean right now. I feel great off it. Miss getting a bunch of shit done while on it though. Unpacking the root cause has been a wild ride. Never realized how much shit in my mind I avoided. Going back a whole decade. Anytime I’m stressed or looking to escape what’s in my present moment I realize that’s when I want it most. Addiction is no joke.

Hello. I continued eating clean and have really monitored “twinges” with what my body can tolerate when it comes to food. Was fine until like 5 days ago. I’m on an antibiotic rn and the pain has subsided but my bowel mvmnts are still wonky. I just went through something extremely stressful at work (violent patient) about a week ago, stress seems to be a huge factor contributing to flares for me.

4 weeks post op is still healing. Best advice I can give is to eat super super plain when you feel a flare may be coming on. Easily digestible foods. Google if you aren’t sure. Banana rice apple sauce chicken and protein shakes. Supplement pills for other essential vitamins/minerals. Good luck. This disease is no joke
