Kale? lower back pain?

0

A few days ago I had a salad of Kale. And two days later I came down with a mild attack. Does anyone eat Kale? I had a feeling when I was eating it, that maybe I shouldn't. It's so rough. Also, this time, my worse pain was in my lower back. I...
constipation

I try to eat allot of fiber and also take 5 Metamucil capsules at night. I "go" allot and always thought everything was fine. But now I realize that even though I go so much there is still so much left behind. I know this for a fact from a CT...
E. coli super bug

Has anyone heard of the new E. coli super bug? It doesn't respond to antibiotics and is especially dangerous for those suffering with diverticulitis. I read about it awhile ago and then heard about again on the television. Now I fret some more.
Can this be diverticulitis?

0

I've had diverticulitis a few times. Two pretty bad attacks and a couple of mild ones. This time it's different. Yesterday I started having sharp twinges in my lower left side. It was on and off. Not very bothersome except for the fear of what...
coffee?

Once you're feeling better is it OK to have coffee? Or is that not a very healthy thing to have with this condition?
stool softeners

If Metamucil is too harsh three weeks after the beginning of an episode, are stool softeners a safe option?
Metamucil and milk of magnesia

Can anyone tell me when it is ok to start Metamucil after you're done with the antibiotics? Also when is it safe to use milk of magnesia? I am so afraid of getting constipated and I am just beginning to add fiber to my diet now.
seeds

Ok, so I know we're not suppose to eat seeds and nuts, but what about tomatoes and cucumbers? Can I have an Italian dinner without worrying about seeds in the tomato sauce?
insides falling down?

0

When you have diverticulitis, especially women, does it feels like your insides are falling down or are coming out?
eating

0

When do you start eating normally and when do you begin to add fiber? No doctor has told me and in the past I would eat what I felt like eating and managed to get through the episode.
medications

How long do you take medications for? I am always given the medicine for one week. Sometimes I think a longer time may be necessary.
Tylenol

Does anyone know if you can take Tylenol with Metronidazole? I think you shouldn't take Advil.
pressure in the rectal area

0

Occasionally I will have pressure in the rectal area. It comes on suddenly and is short lived. Sometimes I have it after waking in the middle of the night. It's very uncomfortable. Has anyone else had this?
help for bloating

0

It's been 2 months since my last attack of diverticulitis. Now I am on a high fiber diet (higher than I have ever been). How do you handle the bloating, pressure and gas that come with it?
sour taste in mouth

0

I am recovering from a bout of diverticulitis. While on the medicine I had a metallic taste in my mouth. Now that is gone, but I have an awful sour taste in my mouth. I am assuming that is acid reflux. I never had this before. Is this common...
