Close Diverticulitis

I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis at 22yrs had a microperforation accompanied by Fever and stayed in the hospital for 4 days. Had another attack at 23yrs old and I am currently awaiting surgery.

Treatments

Cipro Somewhat Helpful

Antibiotics worked to beat the infection. But they do nothing for preventing an attack.

High Fiber Diet Somewhat Helpful

High fiber helped but was not as effective as all the doctors make it sound. I could eat broccoli and Chicken every night and still wake up in a lot of pain.

Close Chronic Pain

Treatments

Marijuana Working / Worked

I have constant stomache pain from diverticulits, cannabis works unbelievably well for stomache pain, the problem is you cant always smoke a joint before you go into work.
