I was Diagnosed with Mild Diverticula after a Barium CT Scan..18 months ago.,This was done following a bad Diverticulitis Flare up,. that landed me in Hospital(3 days) on IV Antibiotics,. Since then I have had 2 milder attacks,. last one 3 Weeks ago., I promptly started the Antibiotics at the first sign of the Flare,.this was successful in getting it under control.,What confuses me is if my DD is only mild..then Why so many Flare ups.?, anybody got any answers on this.,??

his answer was not likely as I would have to have much more of these
pockets.. Why do they grade this then? why not just say DD & be done..?
I am awaiting a Colonoscopy my GP wants me to have this,He is concerned that my Flare ups seem more frequent.. Jon I am on a
high fibre diet.,& take Fybogel also,. thanks for your answer.. Doglover..

Your food consumption is probably causing your flares. Sorry to tell you ,that you
are stuck with DD as ,so we are all told ,there is no cure, You will just have to learn to dislike food

You may have noticed ,but seemingly not, that sufferers come onto the
forums (various ) ask for help, and when help and advice are offered,
but it obviously isn't what they want to hear, they disappear ,and no doubt carry on as before and keep getting flares.
I asked questions non stop (if you can remember that far back )
and tried everything that was thrown at me, as a result ,I am now in
control of this poxy disease.
There are no nice answers to the questions people ask, it's follow the
advice or suffer

What about some of those very silly people - they soon disappeared when they got short shrift.

All support is gratefully accepted & I am sorry if my response is slow. I am dealing with sight loss problems from a retina Occlusion & sometimes find computer work difficult..
I would like to ask you while I am on here. When having flares do you suffer from altered BMs?. I get small amounts of pencil thin BMs, with very bad cramps in my Flares.. Doglover..

and when they realise it takes effort from themselves to help keep reasonably safe, they don't want to know. Their loss.
The thing is , you and I do actually keep finding things to try that do
make a difference, thank god
You more than anyone needs help, as you have been soldiering on
alone for far too long.
Iv'e done two posts in one
Those probiotics are really hanging in there, don't know what they are
doing, but they are good at it

When you are having a flare ,just keep to liquids mashed potatoes
rice puddings, but ,if you feel like I do with the damned flares ,eating
is not on my "to do" list Drink loads, and don't go bombing around .
stay quiet and, I usually take a couple of Paracetamol..
No hard foods AT ALL

At the moment my DD is behaving itself after my most recent flare about 3/4 weeks ago. I have just started to introduce more Bran into my Diet, as this keeps me regular .constipation is a big no no for me. Had a very constipated childhood...(Grim).
Hope you are staying Well.. Doglover.

In answere to you ps. It's just pouring here too. I am without car at the moment and, living (as we do) in the sticks, public transport is poor. Non existent tomorrow. I have enough H&B to last a while.

Can I have a mince pie at Xmas. ?
jonnojohn jacqueline01135
Posted
Yes, my dear DO have a mince pie at Christmas (and any other time) they have absolutely no effect on me whatsover. My long-ago prepared (by Dietician ) avoidance list has held me in pretty good stead and, I would say, judging by some of the more recent posts, very good advice which has stood the test of time. She (my Dietician) also said 'if you ever meet anyone called Jacqueline, who likes horses as much as you, then tell her mince pies are on the menu' Would you ever believe that!
