Newly diagnosed with diverticulitis

Rushed in to hospital last tuesday ive been sent home to follow a low residue diet. Does any body know if I can follow the NHS milk diet with this condition. Ive been doing a sponsored slim this year for pancreatic cancer research and I still have two stone to shift in two months. I had just stared following the milk diet when I was rushed into hospital. To be fair at the moment im slightly terrified to eat.

I have dairy with no issues. I refrain from nuts and seeds as well as any spicy foods.

Can you tell me a little more about the milk diet?

I had 2 hospital stays and 2 treated at home In a year I just had surgery do you know anyone who had there sigmoid removed

4 pints of semi skimmed milk per day, sugar free jelly, 1 drink of bovril/oxo per day, 1 litre of water per day. Tea/coffee with milk from your allowance sweetners permitted. You must take a good multi vit and mineral tablet. Its a diet used to shrink the liver pre bariatric/gallstones/stomach surgery.

Just seems strange that I started this lost 9lb and was rushed to hospital with high up cramps. Kidney stones were suspected but ct scan showed diverticulitis.

Im sorry I dont know any one thats had this surgery or with diverticulitis.

I had the surgery mid-May. I now feel very good. It was definitely a journey.

What did you do t make things work to recovery I go to bathroom so manytimes and att times nothing hapoens what's your diet now .Do you have normal bowelments .Thank you

I didnt have any bowel issues. My bowel movements have not been affected at all. I treated for trapped wind prior to seeking medical help. My pain is left sided high up just inder ribs. Drs initially thought I had kidney stones. At the mo im terrified to eat as I dont wish to have another attack been mainly living on chicken broth.

Thank you I hope all. Is well.
