Ihad test done was told i have diverticulosis, ther is no pain only lots of trapped gas, and constipation. Doctors said there was nothing i could do,but go on high fiber diet which make the constipation worse and the gas. 3hours of sleep at night which is leading to a neverous problem. If anyone have the same systems and have gotten good results please help me

I ALSO HAVE DIVERTCUL0SIS BUT I HAVE SOME PAIN WITH MINE,CONSTIPATION, BLOATING, NAUSEA. ONE THING I WAS TOLD WAS TO STAY AWAY FROM ANYTHING WITH SEED OR NUTS. AND TO EAT A HIGH FIBER DIET WHICH TO ME IS HARD TO DO BECAUSE IT ADD MORE PAIN FROM THE GAS.WATCH WHAT YOU EAT LIKE CHEESE OR ANY THING THAT MIGHT CONSTIPATE YOU. I ALSO TAKE FLAX SEED OIL WHICH IS IN A PILL FORM. YOU CAN FIND IT IN THE VITAMIN SECTION AT ANY STORE. THE LOOK LIKE A OVER SIZED VITAMIN E PILL. TAKE THEM EVERY DAY ONE IN THE MORNING AND ONE AT NIGHT 1000MG. ALSO GIVE IT A WEEK OR TWO TO REALLY GET WORKING. THERE IS NO CAMPING INVOLVED OR GAS ATLEAST FROM THE FLAX SEED OIL. HOPE THIS HELPS.
