I'm still pretty new to having diverticulitis and my only episode with it was a perforation. I'm getting pressure on the side of my stomach now, that kind of feels like someone is pushing their fingers into my side. It's not pain, just kind of uncomfortable. Has anyone ever had this? Should I increase my fiber or decrease my fiber?
I’d decrease fiber. Add a heating pad to area and go on soft foods. If you still have discomfort after a day seek a doctor’s opinion. Also make sure you are not constipated. I take Miralax regularly but if you have pain don’t. Drink lots of water.
