I AM A PATIENT OF DIVERTICULOSIS AND HEP C AND IHAVE PORTAL VARICES I AM WONDERING WHY YOU DOCTOR DID NOT GIVE YOU A FOLLOW UP DATE AFTER PUTTING YOU ON SUCH A STRICT DIET AND WITHNOTHING FOR PAIN I'M NOT SURE IF YOU CAN TAKE WHAT THEY ARE GIVING ME FOR PAIN OR NOT THE NAME OF THE MEDICATION IS ULTRAM ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF HE OR SHE WILL CALL IT IN TO YOUR PHARMACY AS FAR AS THE EATING IS CONCERNED ONCE YOUR DIVERTIULARS BECOME INFECTED THAT IS WHEN THEY CUT BACK ALL SOLID FOODS AND START ALIQUID DIET AND ATIBIOCTICS . THE NORM IS THEY KEEP YOU IN THE HOSPITAL A FEW DAYS AND RETURN YOU TO A NORMAL DIET ONCE THE INFECTION IS UNDER CONTROL .I'M NOT SURE HOW SEVERE YOUR CONDITION BUT I'M SURE YOU NEED A FOLLOW UP VISIT IT WOULD BE THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IF THE INFECTION IS UNDER CONTROL SO YOU NEED TO CALL AND SET A APPOINTMENT .DIVERTICULOSIS IS CALLED DIVERTICULITIS ONCE IT BECOMES INFECTED.I HOPE I HVE HELPED WITH SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS
