consider yourself lucky that the diverticula have never been infected....if they ever had been you woulld know it...I am here to tell ya...! it is incredibly painful. I have a section of the desending lower bowel about 8" long that is riddled with diverticula....debris gets stuck in there frequently....and then my body works overtime to get rid of it....and if unsuccessful...an infection sets in...both are painful... so...feel lucky dear that you are asymptomatic..Kathy
A recent CT scan done for kidney stones showed Diverticulosis .. I guess the GI saw that when he was in there 2 yrs ago LOL! osis ... the one not infected ...

That is indeed wonderful news! Yay! :)
yeah...I have had it done before...I have diverticular disease...so....yuck...the prep is the pits...especially if you already tend to ah..have ah...problems one way or the other in that particular area....the test.,,they dope you up for...they tried to just make me really dippy...but they had to put me completely out...better that way anyway...if it weren't for the prep and the indignity of the whole thing...it wouldn't be so bad...
I mean I had to take all these laxatives the day before...pills and liquid stuff that made me sick...made me have "dry heaves" at the wrong end...could NOT possibly be anything in left in there!...then I got a "cleansing" enema at the hospital...for heaven's sake! how ridiculous!!!!! I felt sick for a couple of days afterwards
ah...when DID I do that? hmmm that HAS been awhile...lol :) better late than never like ya said..doing ok? I bet ya are...I had my regular Internist appt today...she really put me through the ringer...but I am glad she is thorough...but sheeeesh...bone density...ekg...the works.....blood from both arms...like I don't do THAT enough already lol...and of course she "yelled" at me for not having my colon thingy done yet...like when have I had time????
Very happy for you. Congratulation.
When was yours due? Mine was due in April ... so I postponed the routine appt now twice and am now confirmed for June and then will pick a date in early July ... I had atypical polyp (small) found 2yrs ago so again they go in .. hey, I cannot put it off forever but pppppppppppplllllzzzzz ... the prep is just awful isn't it!!!
