I just got diagnosed with Diverticulitis. Does anyone have any solid advice on how to deal with this disease?

I am miserable!

Oh man..... 3 years ago I had to have a foot of my intestines removed due to diverticulitis....... it was awful going through those attacks ..... so painful 馃槪
Have not had any since surgery and while it was scary to have that surgery I do not regret it at all!

My only advice is to NOT take ciproflaxin ...... read up on that drug before ingesting it....
Ciproflaxin wall of pain and read up on it

@Miklee02 Wow I'm so sorry for your pain. It is awful. I am literally afraid of food right now. They have me on liquids for awhile to let my insides "rest". I feel like anything I eat makes it worse.

@GhostGirl key is to relax digestion cause man does it hurt when the bowels move.... heal up and if you get this a lot talk to the doctor about surgery....... was the best decision I could鈥檝e made
