i was just diagnosed 9  days ago with DD  and feel like I'm going to die. I  have not had my colonoscopy  yet.  The pain is horrible and I  can't find anything to eat that does not make me feel worse.  Any  advice???

    I am so sorry to hear this. Did they offer any pain meds? I find no doc that will give me anything for pain. Were you given antibotics?

      They did prescribe pain meds  but I refuse to take them. They  make  me deathly ill. I  am  one day away from finishing two antibiotics. The ER  said I had no infection so they just put me on antibiotics as a precaution. I  am  waiting on my  Colonoscopy  to be scheduled.  Anything I  try to eat makes my pain worse.

    Did you do the 2 to 3 day clear diet?

      No. but its  appearing to me that I  may have to do it.  The Dr  didn't say anything about it. I have had to read everything online

    I have done the clear diet and the healing was within a few days.. The last attack I kept eating per ususal just not as much and the pain and infection lasted for 2 weeks. The clear diet consists of very little but does really help. I would do before you are out of medicine. I do wish there was a cure because it is a bear.
