Sam, I'm going to also post a comment so either way you'll get a response..I hope. I was dia. with diverticulitis after seeing my dr. who was sure that was what it was. I then had a CT Scan which showed diverticuloca but no divertuclitis. However, the symptoms all lead to diverticulitis so I am being for it.
I am feeling better today. I went on a liquid diet Sunday and that helped to reduce the swelling and the pain. My stool is still narrow and that worries me. I ate today for the lst time and got nausea and light headed. I'm dizzy alot and feel like I want to pass out. I also can't sleep.
What kind of diet do you now follow and does it work for you? Thanks, SUe
Sam, I ans. your email, however, this is new to me. Please let me know you got it or not. I went into send a message rather than post a comment. Sue
Hi Sue,
I was diagnosed with diverticulitis in 2008 and was on meds (Cipro and Flagyl) for three weeks. My symptoms were: first diarrhea, followed by constipation, pain in lower left abdomen, some days the pain was intense and some I didn't feel anything, pain was worse with walking, later fever and nausea. My abdomen was hard. I did not have back pain. I had a follow up after one week and noticed improvement after 5 days.
May I ask how your Dr. diagnosed you with diverticulitis?
