There is hope. I had a follow-up CT scan yesterday and the Diverticulitis has been resolved. I am 4 weeks into it now and feel better however bowels still are not normal and was told to stick with the low residue diet for a little longer. It is normal for the digestive tract to take a while to get back on tract (pardon the pun). May need stool softener for a bit.

That's great news Linda. Does that mean you don't have diverticulitis any more?

Yes, however I will be susceptible to flare ups from now on. Keeping my fingers crossed that doesn't happen. I can't believe how long it takes to feel better.
