Where do I start?
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi people on here. I need some advice please. I have been told I have diverticulosis and just feel so confused after being told it was ibs for 10 years. I have been through camera tests, one up one down, pinch biopsies, stomach acid probe tests and dietitians including the FODMAP diet. Where do I start with something called soluble fibre considering I have done everything possible and drawn a blank. What does the doctor do and should I speak to a dietitian? I have lots of allergies including beans and pulses. Will this getting any better? I feel back at square one. If you have some advice, not nastiness I would be happy to hear it. Thanks in advance.

This thanks goes out in order to those who have replied. I have been sent a letter to confirm no diverticulitis, I have made a further appointment to see my doctor and dietitian and am going to try linseeds in my diet if I can work out how. It was a shock to here what I had I was told I had ibs initially 10 years back and that I was making a fuss by family. I now need help and reassurance. The help is physical and the dietitian and doctors can sort that. Thanks to people on here for the reassurance. You've all helped, one question what are chia seeds?

Thanks Pippa, I will try more dietary changes but it seems strange since I've had this diagnosis 10 years!

Hi Pippa, that explains a lot. Started some new counselling for assault would that do it? Strange how my doctor knows and won't suggest anything but antidepressants where the rest of my life is OK, well manageable. Looking at acupuncture as sure this will help me to relax. Itching to get back to pilates, can't wait!

The problem you have is a narrowing of the Diverculem an area of your plumbing, It is not a real problem just needs a change of diet. I had to increase fiber in my diet. Bread, Potatoes etc that will assist bowel movements. Your GP will arrange instruction

Hi, sourdough bread is high in fibre, it's made by fermentation and much easier to digest even wholemeal sourdough bread.
