This is all too familiar. Neg scans, but cant tolerate dye for Ct and repeated flare ups. Where do you find a diverticulosis diet? Just have had a postive colonoscopy, and one time I drank something in ER and waited 2 hours and had CT. It was clear , does anyone know what that is called? Yhat did show pockets too, but with dry scan, nothing.
Hi
Can I ask what were your symptoms
Google Mayo Clinic diverticulitus and it will give you the low residue diet and recommendations for when you feel better. Small meals are important. No bigger then your fist. I hope you feel better soon.
Other people with our disease on this forum have suggested the Mayo clinic diverticulitis diet I am still just eating dry enriched white toast ( dry ) boiled potatoes no butter sugarless applesauce bone broth and a little boiled chicken Good Luck
Kate symptoms are pain at first left side spreads up to under rib bone,,,then burning nausea and cant eat , also fatigue and sometimes lightheaded. Also gas and loose bowel movements
Hi Maybabe,
Tks for your reply, I get the headaches aswell and a little dizzy at times but I dont get much leftside pain, mostly its in my back legs and rectum, awaiting result of MRI on lumbar done on Monday so hopefully get some answers otherwise its another colonoscopy
Thanks Maybabe for your reply, seems to be different things for different people, I get the lightheadedness you talk about and terrible fatigue, but my legs and rectum are the worst pain, hard to believe it could be diverticulitis
