Hi

I was Diagnosed last week with Diverticulitis, After 18 months of being in pain.

The Doctor offered me surgery as soon as he told me I had Diverticulitis.

It's all confusing to me. so many different symptoms and different stories.

Can anyone tell me if I need to see my GP after being Diagnosed with Diverticulitis for antibiotics or anything else.

    Peter make an appointment to see the top dog again, don't spend time worrying it will only make your condition worse, find foods that don't aggravate the DD, don't eat anything with nuts and seeds in as they gut stuck in the pouches, no caffeine or alcohol. I really hope you get to see top dog soon.
