Diverticular Disease

Posted , 16 users are following.

Hi can anyone help please I have been diagnosed with Diverticular Disease but I get a lot of pain in my right side' also at the bottom of my tummy it feels like I have pebbles rolling around. I have also had a gastric bypass 5 years ago so eating bran is something I cant do and to be honest don't need as I go too much neutral as soon as I eat I am in the loo and I am so scared when I go out because I know if I get a little anxious I need the loo and I wont eat out because of the same reason. It feels my life revolves around the loo day and night and I am getting so drained and tried by it all. Can anybody help please my doc don't seem to know what to do neutral Thanks for reading x

    Hi Ladies, I have managed to get back online but don't know how long it will last as it keeps cutting out. I was going to telephone helpline this morning but it has started working again. I hate it when there are intermittant faults it is better if things just stop working full stop.

    Glad that you are home Kaz but you still need lots of rest (and chicken soup)

    I have had a week or more when I have been O.K. so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it continues.

    I know that you put your email address on one of the messages Kaz but I couldn't find it. Joan has mine and I have hers. I tried putting mine in a message but the moderator deleted it and said that it wasn't allowed and to use "messaging" but I couldn't find out how to do that.

    Hope that you are O.K. today Joan. also hope that this message posts.

    Hi girls

    Phyllis good to have you back even if for a short time which I hope it wont be. You say your been feeling good this week so what you have been eating has been good for you this week keep that in mind or even write it down then if you have a bad week you will be able to find more easily what hasn't worked.

    Hi Kaz how you feeling today hope you had a good night ? Thing is when your resting of a day its harder to sleep at night but hope you did. And hope today is even better for you each day is another day to recovery.
