    Are they sure you have diverticulitis? You are too young you would think . What test did they run to come up with that diagnoses? Did they give you any medication if do what kind?

    HI I was diagnosed last week & im 44. Like you wanting tips to be able to control it. I'm waiting on my camera in 4 weeks.

    One question is Diverticulitis linked to patients fainting, as the last 4 years I've been fainting on & off & drs have been unable to find out the cause. A junior dr at the hospital said it wasn't connected but a nurse said it might be connected??
