Diverticulitis Support Group
Diverticulitis is a common disease of the bowel, in particular the large intestine. Diverticulitis develops from diverticulosis, which involves the formation of pouches on the outside of the colon. Diverticulitis results if one of these diverticula becomes inflamed. Diverticulitis most often affects middle-aged and elderly persons, though it can strike younger patients as...
I'm finding I'm having a severe flare with diverticulosis and I've been to my gastroenterologist you kind of blew me off over the whole thing so I fired him! I found another caring gastro guy and within a week he had me in for a colonoscopy . Now I find out that I have quite a bit of scarring in my intestinal tract from diverticulosis I guess I have to continue with Test and see him again next week because he couldn't continue the colonoscopy because of all the scarring he was afraid he would rupture my intestines! Is anybody else experienced this and what was done for you if you can tell me what was done I'd surely appreciate it!
Yeah I spent over a year begging for medical help!
I finally fired the SOB that started this scarring in my intestines in the first place I believe!
He was the most uncaring gastroenterologist doctor I have ever encountered!
I'm happy I have a guy that cares now and I just hope I don't have so much severe damage that I'm going to live like this the rest of my life right now I'm in a lot of pain!
Finding the right Dr helps alot. If I had changed doctors I could have avoided all the operations. It was a year of Hell.
Keep me updated

Thanks I'll check that out on Facebook right now
Now I have to do a whole prep thing again and go through a barium and I'm on Monday because the colonoscopy was an epic fail and he couldn't get past the transverse colon I have a lot of pain on my right side there's very little left lower side pain and that's where it said there's quite a bit of diverticulosis so no telling what's going on on the right side!
The other thing I wonder if anybody can help me with is I had this whole gallon of garbage I have to drink and last time I did that type it through my electrolyte and minerals off balance bad!
I'm 107 pounds five foot three and really don't think I need to drink all that I've come to the conclusion that I don't need to starve myself for 2 days prior either from everything I've research you only have to do the liquid diet the day before all they've got me Saturday Sunday not eating at all I can't afford to do this!
My body is just so Whip and tired and already malnourished does anybody have any ideas on better ways to do a prep and not tell the doctor that I did it on my own???
I truly don't want another electrolyte imbalance taking over my life it takes forever to get over this I don't know what else to do but ask for some outside advice and hope somebody's got some good ideas on how to do a prep without all the chemical!!! Thanks in advance for any kind of information that you know might be helpful I truly appreciate it!
