I feel this disease has completely aged me and I don't seem to know what causes my constant flare ups ( I don't go more than two weeks) once I get a flare up it is so intense I can't turn over in bed or get off the sofa etc, I don't feel the consultant really advised me on anything other than fybrogel so any tips advice on diet etc and keeping flare ups at bay greatly received! I don't know of anyone else to have this at my age is this uncommon at my age?

For future reference if it is easier, you can just add the link to other forums from within this site in your post and it will not go for moderation. If any new readers want to look at the other forum it is here https://patient.info/forums/discuss/divi-diners-246516.

We don't have a specific "Ask the doctor" type service but I try and guide users to our articles in patient.info itself where relevant or I will answer things I know with my limited medical knowledge as an ex lab tech in microbiology. What you can do if you think an article on patient doesn't answer your questions is use the feedback link at the bottom of the article to suggest additions.
For example if you think https://patient.info/health/diverticula-including-diverticulosis-diverticular-disease-and-diverticulitis could have more info or have suggestions there is a "Provide feedback" link at the bottom. There are also links from the patient leaflets to the doctor orientated articles (PatientPlus) that go a bit more depth into the condition.
Alternatively you can post a question in the forums and use the "Report" link ticking the "Feedback for moderator" option to draw it to my attention and I can forward to the authoring team.

Alan

fellow divi's . Sound as though you need to go back to base camp and make a few noises to get some real help. Who drinks de caff did you know that they (the coffee makers ) use a shed load of stuff to make it de caff ?

But the flare-ups are surely understood? They must equate to te time it takes for food matter to go septic n th pockets, surely? Your Fybogel medication is just a bulkng agent. It is just as likely to fill the pockets as regular food matter does! I'm amazed that anyone offers such non-stimulant treatments for DD. I've been prescribed the stimulant laxative Bisacodyl for the last number of years. I have never suffered from Diverticulitis - only Diverticular Disease! I use ta 10 mg dose at night every 4 - to - 8 days (depending on when I must be mobilehe next day). Taking the med at 10 pm means everything is sorted by lunchtime - usually! Then I'm good for typically 4 days before 'throughput' is greatly reduced (or zero). I do get occasional UTIs- which might b due to the DD obstructing urine flow, but I've never knowingly had Diverticulitis! Ask your consultant to consider Dulcolax.
Good luck.
