Can anyone offer advice please diagnosed 2 weeks ago with Diverticulitis
Posted , 8 users are following.
My mother has had episodes of diarrhoea since before Christmas. She has been an inpatient and through having a colonoscopy has been diagnosed with Diverticulitis, she has been prescribed mebervine, rantideine and is now taking loperamide but these are not having and effect, still running to the loo with diarrhoea and feeling nauseus. We have tried to introduce wholemeal bread and fibre foods with trial and error with what we think is best but things aren't improving, has anyone else experienced any symptoms like this or can advise of anything to help, all we seem to be advised from the health service is to keep taking the pills and feel like we have been left to get on with it without much advise.

I hope im not praising too soon but your advice so far has seem to make the complain improve.
How long do you take the acidophilus for we have now been taking for a week and diarrhoea problems seems to have improved - now into single visits for the loo. I have also had her having aloe vera juice and munuka honey drink twice a day xx
as for the loperamide they were dismissed as soon as saw the advice of others
