Notes on Orange juice

I can say that when I was recovering from my last bout of diverticulitis, I would have symptoms of what appeared to be a UTI every couple of weeks. After talking to my cousin, a nurse practitioner, I got myself a set of urine dip strips which she taught me how to read. Most of the readings were negative and 24 hours on water only soon took care of the symptoms. So I just had an irritated bladder and did not need unnecessary antibiotics. A couple of times I did have a genuine UTI, spoke to my GP surgery, took in a sample which they tested for themselves, then got antibiotics.
Having followed this forum for some time, there are quite a few reports of people who had surgery to remove the infected part, but then diverticula developed further up the colon, and for some unlucky people, further attacks of diverticulitis. It is reckoned to be a disease for life, needing continual careful eating.
