Had an ALL expenses paid trip to Diverticulitis-ville last night, decided to spend the night at Carolinas Medical Center and be a pin cushion for a ton of interns!
Anyone here ever had a bout with Diverticulitis, or have dealt with it for a while?
It’s some bad stuff, if you think you have a high tolerance for pain, this will change your mind!
Friend had a particularly bad bout of it, he was pretty sure he was dying. My grandfather had it for years, loved to grow his tomatoes and even though dr. said to stay away due the small seeds he would eat them until he had a flare up. Seems to be differing opinions on treatment. Grandfather's Dr. always encouraged him to stay away from certain foods such as apples with peel on. My Step Grandfather's sister had it and her Dr. wanted her to eat an apple everyday.
Good Luck.
