how understanding diverticulosis

Bad luck..everyone seems to be different.

My doctor is very much in favour of resting the gut i.e. starving for a day then 2 or 3 days with liquid then building to soft easily digested .

Do you think the flying is at fault ?

Hi Bryan,

Like julie mentioned, we all have different things that may cause a flare. However, if you have been doing a lot of stressfull things thats definitely a trigger. To get everything back feeling normal a liquid diet and rest always do the trick. Sounds like you pretty much know the cornbread doesn't agree with you. We all have our foods that we notice over time is a no, no.

Any man ever have problems wearing a belt has that made your diverticulosis act up something tight around your waist make you hurt

OH Dear  ,Brian, what I do ,if I over eat  (only Sometimes ) and I get a twinge

that tells me ,,,,too much food to be dealt with   I take a mild laxative,

Lactulose  you can buy it from the chemist .Clears your rubbish out, Drink plenty

of liquid just in case there are any bits hanging back in the pouches.

You probably didn't chew your food for long enough. 

Buy yourself a bottle before Xmas,, just in case ,

Rest ,and a few Paracetamol help with the pain. No belts or brces either !!!!!! 

I agree to go liquid when in doubt. If you get a fever definitely get to doc for antibiotics.

Iow many times a day should I take the fiber supplement I've been taking it twice a day now I seI am having a bit of diarrhea win
