Hello, I have recently been diagnosed with diverticulitis after experiencing pain and ending up in A&E. It’s not in the usual spot as it’s up near my gallbladder so initially they thought appendix, then gallstones, but it was neither of those. I spent 4 days in hospital on pain relief, fluids, and various other things, whilst they tried to figure out what was going on.
I’m back out in the wild still on antibiotics, some pain relief and lactulose, as well as a low fiber diet for the moment. For the last few days I’ve been down an internet rabbit hole trying to learn as much as I can about it but some of the information has been confusing.
I found this forum whilst trying to find specific information on the bloating. I feel like it’s just not going down & have no idea how to help it along or if it’s just going to stay like this. All my clothes are uncomfortable and I’m back to work tomorrow wondering if my purple fluffy unicorn pj bottoms will violate the dress code. Would anyone have any advice? I would be eternally grateful
