Post Diverticulitis IBS
Posted , 6 users are following.
Been reading an article on this and it seems it is very common among those who have pain issues with alternating bowel habits after their diverticulitis attack. It is an interesting read that may explain what some think is a diverticulitis reccurence but may not be actually. It may be IBS caused by diverticulitis. I assume they differentiate the two by looking at blood work for elevated WBC,maybe a ct scan. If nothing looks abnormal it is thought to be the diverticulitis variant of IBS.

Well that is something to look forward to
Genuinley thanks for the info and link, forewarned is fore armed
Think one of the big issues with this disease is that nobody really knows what to expect for themselves, healthcare professionals in a lot of cases struggle to help us. The more you can learn, anticipate and prepare for the better you can fight this and keep your head up.
Cheers

It could also be IBS caused by damage to the microbiome. I the duet discussions for this condition some sufferers have posted a out how using probiotic supplements has made a big difference to the number and severity of flares they experience.

Curtis there is currently a study being carried out by King's College Hospital London specifically focusing on diverticulitis and a probiotic, which has already shown to be effective in relieving the symptons of IBS and ulcerative colitis.
