I've had belly button pain for months. I asked for a CT scan which revealed Diverticulosis. My PA says it's no big deal just eat a high fiber diet. I am anemic so I had to add Iron which can constipate you so I've added Benefiber each morning. I am overweight. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, not much meat or bread. Even with the High fiber diet I still hurt. I also sleep on my stomach so my belly button hurts as I wake each morning. Should I ask for a referral to a GI doc? Any advice would help! Thank you for reading!
I would get an opinion from a G I doctor. Take your CT Scan with you. Good luck!
i would definitely see a gastroenterologist...... a colonoscopy will show more detailed info.... lots of very good info here regarding diet, supplements, and lots of support..... hope you get the answers you need
