Diverculitis Flare Up * Educate yourself!

Digestive health
1

I just completed a 10 day bout

With my 2nd DI Flare up. Horrible

My 1st one was in 2010 with a emergency DI Bleed. and I almost

Died. After the surgery to take care of the bleed I was informed that I have Diverticulitis. I knew about

Avoiding popcorn &nuts but did not

Know about not having seeds. I have

Now learned a lot about DI by doing

Research via Google and I came upon this site. In addition to having

DI I am also a heart patient and diabetic. *very very important for ones who have DI to do your research before you have a flare up.

And if you have a flare still continue to do research which will help in the

Long run. Because I have a serious

Heart condition my GI Surgeon is

Working closely with my cardiologist before my upcoming

Surgery which will be in mid January

Or February. Please slow after your

Flare up with soft foods in small amounts. *when we don't pay

Attention to our medical issues that

We have and don't educate ourselves we pay dearly for it.

Keep notes and questions that you

May have when you meet with

Your surgeon so that they can be

Answered. It's better to be able to

Talk with your GI Surgeon before

An emergency bleed occurs

*May All who have Diverticulitis have much success in getting the

Proper care which will lessen the

Stress and Frustration including the

Scares that We All Face.😊

How do you get all this care and attention ????  I get none, even after having one vet severe perforation, and another ,found by a C.T, scan for another bit of my body. Was told that the perforation had healed itself. ,and that was that, I do take probiotics ,from the Health store, I eat almost anything, but I do make sure my bowels do their thing every day ,of Paramount importance not to let stuff  sit in the colon. I think positively, about this !Situation " that I am lumbered with ,but do not worry about it, .because, I think it likes STRESS. and I 'ain't gonna give it any ,if  I can help it, which I can
