    • Close Diverticulitis

      I've had most of my colon removed and I still have some pain but nothing like it was.

      Treatments

      Cipro Working / Worked
      Every time I have a flare up and a fever I go on Cipro and Metronidazole they work very well for me the only thing is the diet restrictions.
      High Fiber Diet Somewhat Helpful
      I don't now about everyone else but to get 30 to 35 grams of fiber a day is almost impossible. my only answer is fiber 1 cereal
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      I was having panic attacks and depression so my Doctor put me on zoloft and so far that is working. I have been told that the colon produces serotonin and that controls emotion so if anyone is having any signs of depression after having the surgery ask your Doctor about it.
