I also want to add that I am just not feeling well again. Can diverticulitis really keep going on and on with symptoms? I am terrified that there is something more wrong with me. I am already a person who suffers with anxiety and panic attacks and this has made it so much worse. I am getting twinges of pain and feel kind of nauseous with a sore back.

I got a juicer for Christmas and have been juicing but juicing seems to give me diarrhea and diarrhea seems to aggravate my condition. I am just so scared.

I do not know if this will help but I have been seeing a dr who is a chrropractor and acupuncture specialist. One of the first thing he checks is your tongue for discoloation and then treats you for the correct organ problems my intestional problems have begun to improve under his care. So this maybe an option for you also

have you been on antibiotics ?? you can develope Thrush if you have been..just a Yeast over growth as a result of the antibiotic use..happened to me ! I used the Nystatin, kept my mouth Very Clean...brushing tongue...tho not hard !! and it was gone..I kept using the Nystatin for another 48 hours after symptoms disappeared...just to be sure..I did not have a severe case..mostly just the white coating on my tongue.

It has been 6 weeks since my initial attack...I have had 2 Flare up is that time, bo0th times brought on by something I ate..since I have been behaving I have been feeling stronger and better everyday

drink alot of water..keep the digestive system flushed..this takes awhile to heal...If you start having severe symptoms, then go to straight fluids, go in to make sure ur not infected again..my NP has it set up so I just leave her a voice mail...and she sets up labs, I don't even go see her...she calls with the results...

watch what you eat...allow ur colon to heal...I have stopped eating anything with a peel, lettuce, spicy foods, seeds & nuts..

I eat meats...veggies, not Much sugar, even the Natural kind, to get rid of the yeast overgrowth completely, I have been told this can take 6 months..even without symptoms..

I take a Good Probiotic Everyday..

I eat yogurt with a banana every morning..

if you are a PoP drinker...STOP...at least til you can get a handle on this..

when you Feel Anxious...get into a comfortable position...put ur hands on ur belly...and BREATH...Simply focus on Breathing...making sure to Expand ur belly...

for Cramps...lower back pain...use a Heating pad, or lay in a Warm tub of water..this is very helpful..

let us know how ur doing !!

Hugs !

Dakota is right on the mark and the probiotic should be taken whenever you have an antibiotic administered but it is a good practice to take one anyway for the good bacteria could be eliminated by the intestinal upsets. Fresh carrot juice alone on an empty stomach is a natural cure for bowel complaints so that may help.
