Yes, my biggest fear after ER visit was emergency surgery.
I was lucky it was abscess instead of rupture. It gave me the time to heal and being on the med's helped me stay in shape for surgery.
There really is no cure or diet you can stay on without getting proper nutrition.
Good luck.

PS - if you feel you are getting another episode. DO NOT eat for 2-3 days and drink a lot and take Advil and Tylenol at separate times Fasting is the best to heal quicker.

Yes the diet is so opposite of my regular healthy lose weight build muscle routine I've been following! Do you think when symptoms arise that you should have CT Scan to confirm? I've just experienced 3rd episode last was 6 years ago and thought I was done! PCP prescribed antibiotics wo scan based on my history...week later feel much better but hope I don't gain weight back from this unhealthy diet! Travel planned in January and how to be certain no flare? Your docs sound good, where located? Thanks for any information!
