Just wondering if anyone could provide their experiences. Once you have been diagnosed with Diverticlosis and had your first flare up, once you've gotten treatment and the symptoms slowly subside. Do any of you continue to get dull aches occasionally or if you twist or turn a certain way cause you mild pain.
Even after about 6 weeks? BM's have been regular and normal. Still watching what I eat and avoiding raw vegtables, nuts, ect... drinking loads of fluids too. Just wanted to hear some feedback of what is "Normal" with this condition.

I have tried making my own fruit n veg smoothies the past few days and so far so good.
I also take actimel probiotic drink in the mornings and boost it in the afternoon with Acidophilus pills from Holland n Barret in the afternoon. Fingers crossed and still being extra careful.
Been told mine is extensive and its most likely i will need surgery but trying to avoid this if possible.
Everyone is different so its trial and error. Hope you gain control soon. Its horrible!!! Take Care!

I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy April 1st so I should know more about the extent of the ideas I have. I was first diagnosed about 5 yrs ago during a normal 5 yr checkup but only had my 1st flare up at the beginning of January this year. No infection noted from my bloodwork, my doctor just had me go to liquid diet and cut out the fiber. It's a slow process to get back to Normal that's why I'm reaching out to you guys to help me remain calm and not jump to conclusions
I don't want to fast forward to surgery just yet without seeing if life style changes can be successful and what type of symptoms you just have to live with and tolerate.
Thanks again

Strongly recommend you nip to H&B and get the Acidophilis with Pectin and take
one morning, one evening Chew  food until you get jaw ache ,seriously though
chew well, and slowly  MUSH is goodÂ
Try a paracetamol, that will help if you get a twinge. and don't stress ,not
good . your colon knows if you do ,and gets uptight with youÂ
Lots of knowalls on this forum, so you will be well taken care of. Â

This also gets fiber in , without it fermenting in your gut causing gas pressure pain and also aid in bowel movement.
This has helped quite a bit and has returned BM's to normal without straining.
I still get little aches of discomfort, mostly when I'm sitting or driving in the car but not bad. Does anybody take a pain reliever daily for normal pain and discomfort management, if so, what works best?

The only thing I'm getting now is occasional mild pain at the midpoint of my left side, normally while sitting but occasionally while standing. Is this something others have experienced, even 6 weeks after the flare up?
