So I won't be having margarita pizza again. I decided to try some last night for tea. Bad mistake I started at the toilet at 12-15 finale took Imodium at 3-15 was still at when I got up at 6. It seams to have stopped now. Only had soup and small bread for lunch I am just having soup for tea
We live and learn, don't we ... soup is my "go-to"
Hope you're feeling better.
Thank you for your reply. Yes so far so good
Hi Susan sorry to hear aboim0put what a shame at least now yo no pizza, just a question I thought I read some were that with D.D you can,t take Imodium? I would like to know as I had a bad day last week and one this week and could have done with one, and I had normal diet, hope your ok now
Well I can never wrote a burger any more! Gawd the pain was horrendous ! It's all a learning curve , awful one at times xx
My consultant told me I can take it when things get bad. He said if not so bad just take half of one. When my daughter got married and I knew I would be stressed he told me to take half befor I went and it worked. I have read on here about a few people taking it. I hope this helps
Sorry to read about what you went thru.
It's sad that we have suffer or go thru issues when we don't know
More details about foods that
Will cause a big time DI flare up when we don't know.
Try keeping applesauce around
And eating soft foods such as
Yogurt I like the Yoplait Whips
Yougut, also boxes of Progresso
Chicken Broth and Jello.
It is not worth paying the price
Suffering when you have not
Educated yourself regarding
What will cause a flare up.
I go on goggle and type in a question regarding diviticulitis.
Feel Better Soon!
If I have to take Imodium, I just take one of the Instants that dissolve on your tongue. They seem to be quite mild but effective. Mind you not sure this would work if you are having a severe attack of Diarrhea.
Thanks for your help hope you feel ok now Maureen
Thanks Alison sorry to be a pain can you tell me the name of the instant or do they come under Imodium, it's not a flare up no temp, just very loose now for couple of days a few times a daily. Maybe ive over done the finer.as I'm new to this its so confusing but horrible too, thought I'd got it under control thank you so much
I wouldn't dare to eat any pizza , the tomatoes alone would set me off.
Did you make your own ? I think it's best to make everything yourself
so you know what's in it. I'm struggling with what to eat and what to put with what.
I can't eat ready made .
HI Linda yes I do agree with you I know it's trail and error, i done the same a few days ago took some chips off jibbys plate and did I pay for it as I'm new to all this did have ibs now DD, i used to be able to have take always, it,s so tempting,like you im also struggling from one day to next, it's a miserable life my hubby is getting feed up with it cos he has to do the cooking, and to honest he doesnt understand, but as I said i would not wish this on anyone if you have any idea's on what to eat i would be gratful to know thank you maureen
Hi Maureen, I find that I have to always stick to a low residue diet
otherwise I'm in pain . I suffer with IBS too so it's not easy.
I can't eat white potato but I'm ok having sweet potato, I usually
have small portions of chicken or cod with it. I struggle with greens,
carrots and green beans are ok. I've got to the stage where I'm scared
to eat but I love my food, it makes me miserable not knowing what to put
With what . I can't eat dairy, e.g. eggs, cheese , milk . I really miss eggs and cheese. I'm looking for new things all the time.
I knew not to eat it but thought what the hell Thats the silly part. X
Hi. Google . Divi Diners it is a patients forum, but tons of advice on it .
Hi
The foods on Divi Diners makes my mouth water ,
but I can't eat the majority of it . 😢
four years ago (can't believe it) My food consumption was zero ,as you can probably gather from D, Diners, that's why I started the forum. I have progressed, thanks in part by the people who replied ,and suggested eatables.Now, I eat almost everything, little and often.
Try bits of what you like, you won't explode. just chew it very well, and be positive. You can't go through life drooling over food,,,, you have to take over 
Thank you Linda for your reply and advise, im not sure about the low reside diet..? To be honest as soon as they told me i had DD the nurse just said up your fiber so thats what iv,e done, may be iv,e over done it?. Must admit im a bit clueless regards to all this, it seems i have few days normal then explosive few days, even though im sticking to the diet, i have mostly chicken, fish, mash, at least too green veg peas, beans, always mashed,too pieces of fruit and a yogurt, lots of water, few cups of tea,thats my daily meals, so not too sure were im going wrong, back to the start of divi diners, im losing so much weight its worring, has that affected you, thank so much for your help, so nice to know someone listerns what would we do without all your help thanks again
Thank you so much for all you have done for starting up divi diners, its been amazing we are not alone keep up the good work, we all need help at times hope you have a good christmas from Maureen newbie
They always tell everyone to up the fibre but it makes me worse !
Through trial and error I know what sets me off most of the time.
I try to avoid getting diarhea has I keep ending up in hospital because
It's set my DD off ! You have to avoid skins, peas, beans . I've recently had my gallbladder removed so have to avoid greasy , spicy foods . Sweet things give
me pain . Not much left ! What a life !
