hi, i just want to share with all you sufferers of diverticulitus disease something that i found out that when taken whilst having stomach pain associated with diverticulitus , relieves the pain / discomfort in about 10 mins ! i went to marks and spencer with the wife and we decided to go for a coffee . whilst sat chatting i got stomach pains / aches and was thirsty so went back to the counter and picked up a bottle of water . i went and sat down opened the water and started to drink . urgh , i had picked up a small bottle of sparkling water ( fizzy ) but as i was thirsty i more or less drank it straight down . as it was fizzy i belched a few times then after about 10 mins i noticed that my pain / discomfort i had in my stomach abdominal area had completley gone !!! i have since been to the asda and bought 4 large litre bottles of sparkling ( fizzy ) water and every time i get the discomfort / pain i drink 1/2 pint of it as quick as i can and every time it has stopped all the discomfort / pain in my abdominal area . it works for me so i thought i would like to see if it can help someone else . good luck . ; - )
Worth a try. It's not expensive.
I will certainly try that as I've been in a lot of pain over the past few days. Am on antibiotics again so hope to be better soon.
Thanks for your tip
