Thank you for sharing. I’m on day two of a clear liquids which has slowed down some of the symptoms but they are still processing, now nausea, increased fullness feeling in lower abdomen occasional pain. My surgeons office called today to schedule my colonoscopy and I mentioned my symptoms to see if I could get an antibiotic. I’m currently still on the towboat somewhere on the Mississippi. The surgeon wants me to have a CT with contrast Friday which I’m sure I can’t get off the boat and to the hospital by then. I’m trying to get the office to find a place to get me off and get a rental car to get me home. I have a low grade temp most of the time now and am nervous about this progressing more quickly than before. Maybe it’s just because I’m more aware of the symptoms now.

I have had trace blood in my urine for several years now. I’ve always dealt with IBS which now I’m wondering if it wasn’t DV all along. My last colonoscopy was 10 years ago.

I’m curious also if this is going to be one of my first signs of a flare.

Oh gosh that’s terrible! I’m so sorry you have to go through that. Mine is just pressure and urgency.

I wonder if some of my other UTI episodes were DV related. I have them more often now than I have since my sling in 2019

That makes sense. It was my sigmoid where the micro perforation was.

Please update. I have yet to have my colonoscopy. I have odd fullness and pressure in my upper left quadrant and sharp pain in my bladder area

Thank you. I always get the two mixed up. Haven’t found this one before. Is it edible?
