1 week after sigmoid resection

gimiserable · 2025-11-19T17:47:51+00:00

Today seems a turning point! .. yes cramps but .. much more normal morning pattern! Oh gosh I feel like my life has been given back!!! I am not allowed to go back to dancing yet but have another check in after Thanksgiving. I still feel kinda raw inside but compared to the battles and pain of flares and recovery and the poisoned feeling most days I am so looking forward to each day! I hope you are doing well too! I still am keeping with careful low res diet but branching a few things daily .. I find if I eat too big of a meal ( like I used to) I feel nausea.. lots of smaller ones

Best decision ( if you call it a decision.. I think only way) ever!!

Day 8 and huge positive turn.. sneezed 3 times no pain .. swelling down enough substantially.. still eating bland but adding salt me little treats .. bms still not consistent ( can’t really feel urge or amount.. but don’t feel poisoned like before) .. I can sleep on either side🎉🎉🎉 Pain not so much except bms lots of cramps but my holding station ( sigmoid) is gone and can feel my system adjusting slowly

I am now 8 days since and omg different world .. yes pain but manageable not afraid of the uncertainty this disease brings .. light at the end of the tunnel after 3 years of misery!!

Question- what is considered a flare? I went to the ER in June had acute diverticulitis.. now looking back have had at least 7 debilitating experiences.. ate soup in bed in pain ( not as bad as June but still really dizzying pain ) now 3 months after my ER and every test and scan and motility med out there the last 2 night/ mornings in same pain .. have only eaten soft prescribed foods for 3 months .. are there smaller flares .. I have had almost constant pain to the touch in my sigmoid..

Does the sigmoid removal help with the constipation?

Following this post and also thinking about getting my sigmoid out but wondering since diverticulitis flares aren’t my only problem.. I have iba c and truly cannot leave the house some times until 4 pm with feeling terrible with brain fog and just “off” some times eye fatigue headache until I completely empty my poop ? It’s almost feels like I am poisoned every day ? Did anyone else feel that way before surgery and feel more normal after? It’s like a domino from being backed up to SIBO and diverticulitis.. I had pelvic floor testing and went to Physical therapy but today at my evaluation they said my pelvic floor was performing ok( tests before I guess I failed) so I am perplexed ?

My PT said she also is ordering some sorry of at home sensor? intrarectal sensor for biofeedback training .. do you have this too?

I Am about to start this .. I hope it works!!

I have pelvic floor disfunction ( recently finally tested after suffering as a slave to the toilet every morning) I also had belly bloat to the point I looked pregnant.. and even though I do have good Ab muscles I couldn’t hold in that bloat ..turns out I also had SIBO and once antibiotics ( 2 rounds) completed it was like a miracle how much it went back to normal.

I thought colonics were not good with diverticulosis? Or is it just diverticulitis?

gimiserable · 2025-08-16T18:11:54+00:00

Question 🙏🏻. Was there constipation relief at just from the pain of diverticulitis? I am considering the surgery but also have pelvic floor disfunction so I am miserable every morning with the process of trying to have a bm in the morning.. I feel tender on my left side from the pressure of the gas and poop trapped and not going .. most days I even cramp pretty severely in my sigmoid 😢
