Just found out I have it.....anyone have any advice?

… I just put that into google translate because I thought it was Latin

…. Turns out your just old and get constipated and bloated from I what I read

… welcome to the world of a professional beer drinker… I ain’t crapped right since I was 22

… just chug some Metamucil or something before bed

Get a colonoscopy. Diane developed diverticulitis and had a fistula open from her colon to her bladder, through several inches of her body cavity. It nearly killed her. They couldn't figure out what was wrong for better than 8 months until she started to get sepsis. She ended up having having 14" of colon removed, a whole bunch of damaged tissue removed from her body cavity and had to wear a catheter for a few weeks to allow her bladder to heal.

… or listen to Kieth … your call

my last colonoscopy they tore my bowel and didnt notice....sepsis, collapsed lung, coma and ICU for two weeks left me pooping in a bag for half a year....never again but thanks all the same

^^^^My advice sounding pretty good about now

Don't horse around with this, it can be nothing in most cases however even those can spasm and leave you in a world of hurt

when ever your digestion system stops working or you get a small knot it can turn serious real quick

You should have had a MRI or at least an x-ray to locate where and how big it its as well

yup thanks....the CT scan is how the diagnosed me

Liquid diet then foods that don't cause inflammation

I almost had to wear a bag after a bout of it. I used to eat a lot of sunflower seeds and tomatoes, no more of that. Seeds can be the worst to cause and infection. The smaller the worse. Strawberries raspberries etc...eggplant, kiwi, tomatoes or any hard nuts like peanuts, cashew etc.. are what I avoid just to name a few

Turtle dale is right. That's what works for me. Softer foods like bananas,eggs and chicken and turkey are easy to digest.

Cut back on grease. Avoid nuts. But most of all chew your food good. Trail and error is only true way to know what will hurt you. But unfortunately that can be painful lessons. Not the e d of the world because you are in losis stage. It’s the litis stage that can kill you

My dad has it as well. He ended up having 12 inches of his colon cut out and he still struggles with it from time to time. Cutting back on red meat and processed foods, nuts, popcorn, or anything thing that might get stuck in your colon or not digest well causing a flare up

Multiple occasions of inflammation and scarring over years resulted in a blockage in my sigmoid colon. My body grew a fistula that bypassed the blockage, luckily not like what happened to Keith's wife. Couldn't get a scope up my colon and cancer was a concern so they removed my sigmoid colon (the last 9-12 inches) and connected the rest together (called a resection). Didn't have to go on a bag at all because I was able to get cleaned out prior to surgery. Recovery was longer than expected but it all worked out fine with no residual effects. That was 16 years ago.

Metamucil daily has kept it from becoming a bigger issue. Was diagnosed 3 years ago and have had a few pollups removed.
