I've been suffering with this now for about 6 weeks. I know I have some diverticulosis (not inflamed right now... I just had a CT Scan which was normal). My symptoms have changed over the past month from, originally, diarrhea and I just didn't feel well. Now the symptoms have moved to my stomach, AND, I don't feel well. That is, most of the time I don't feel well. Sometimes, even a whole day, I feel just fine.
My bowels now are moving just fine... fairly regularly in the am, but the stool color, etc. have changed some. My Dr. has now referred me to a GI guy and I can't see him for more than a week (seems like eternity). My Dr has recommended a colonoscopy and an endoscopy to the GI Firm. What I'd like to know, is there anything I can do for these symptoms? The symptoms now are my stomach seems bloated the moment I eat. I feel like I need to burp... and I force myself to do that by drinking a little ginger ale (this helps). I just can't keep this up.. it's effective everything I do. I just paid $16 to see if I can get any good advice. So... there it is. Anything I can do?
