Diverticulitis ribbon poop

Has anyone had thin ribbon like poop after diverticulitis attacks?

Hi Yvette, yes I have it often

I usually have that before or during an attack.

Yes absolutely.  Cramps and ribbon like stools.  Get a good probiotic.  It will help get your intestines back to normal.  I took Florestor.  Ask your pharmacist.

Good luck.

Yes, you have to remember your colon is swollen and spasmodic. Depending on your situation, scarring in the colon can cause the ribbon like symptoms.

Sadly they didn't work for me, I tried them for three months and gave me lots of wind which made things worse for me. Maybe works for some

I am so sorry.  The probiotic worked for my diarrhea but the heating pad soothes your abdomen.  I agree it takes time for thecspasms to quiet. Did you take the prescription Bentyl?  I take that whenever I feel bloated and cramps.  It’s an antispasmodic medication. You can take it 3 times a day. Hoping you feel better  soon.🤗
