~ 5 Year Update ~

I still struggle just a bit with occasional Flare Ups but overall have been able to manage Diverticulosis.

I try to stay active. Today I have a flare up which caused me to remember this wonderful support group.

I have had many colonoscopy to ensure that my condition has not worsened. WHile I have other digestive issues, I KNOW what I can and cannot eat, and when I need to rest.

I refuse to take CIPRO or FLAGYL and nurture my system with probitoics and a fairly healthy diet. If I overeat or have too much fiber or inactivity that is when the problems seems to occur.

I am grateful that I have made it this far without any additional infections or surgery.

Staying PROACTIVE and POSITIVE and beinf MINDFUL has truly helped with any anxiety I have about this disease!

Wishing you all a great journey.
