HELP!
Doesn't anyone read these and respond? I am in pain and need to know what to expect with this disease. My tummy gets distended and then pain radiates around and on my tummy like gas, I have a lot of that. I am getting more regular, does this pain go away when I get regulated?

I am thinking it should. Can you reassure yourself and call doc\'s office and speak to a nurse? I would also keep your food diary. Are you eating items that can cause gas, discomfort? Coud you have a dairy or wheat allergy? Keep a detailed journal for a week. I\'d try probiotics in yogurt/kefir if you aren\'t already. Also, metamucil or psyllium fiber (husks) can cause gas if you are taking that. I take WalMart\'s generic brand of clear, no flavor fiber and the main ingredient is wheat dextrin, which does not cause gas/bloating.
I know what you mean tho--I\'ve had the gas/bloating/pains for a week now, but CT scan says NO diverticulitis! I ate some potential bad things--I did Bbq on Superbowl Sunday and LOTS of dry rub (cumin, seeds, peppers, etc) so that was probably not good. And I ate leftovers for three days (it was so good tho).
Yesterday I ate oats with walnuts and raisins. I think peanuts, not walnuts are probably bad for me, dont\' know for sure.
Sometimes I think the board is probably slow...stay tuned however! Rest easy!
