Diverticulosis throughout entire colon -anyone?
I have diverticulosis throughout my entire colon. I have had many bouts of diverticulitis on my left side. I think it is not common to have diverticulosis throughout, but I was wondering if anyone else has this, and do you know why?

1 ReactionI hope you get through it quickly. I have been doing better because I am now mostly caffeine free. I also make sure to have more veggies with every meal. I am sorry you are having a flare. Take care of yourself.
I have it throughout my colon too . My GI Dr. doesn’t seem too concerned . It wasn’t always all through it . My last z Colonoscopy in Mar said it is . I also have many other horrible GI diagnoses last 10 years. Chronic every single day .
Had my first 2 bouts of Diverticulitis last 2 months . Very painful for 30 hours ( no fever ) and I did not go to ER . Had I had fever , I would have .
They put you on IV antibiotics a couple days and liquid diet .
My late Mom had it many many x in her life and went into hospital. A friend of mine too .
So yes it’s possible to have it all through your colon .
Do you have IBS-D as well ?
I’m not on any meds for any of my digestive disorders and can barely eat food . Hate eating plus getting so nauseous 🤮 and throwing up a lot now ( new symptoms).
Horrible.
I’m on 6 th Gastro Dr and tried everything they make for these issues .
So chronically fatigued from it all too .
My heart ❤️ goes out to you .
I hope you get some relief 🥲.

1 ReactionSomeone mentioned my symptoms sounded like a collagen issue. Since then my rheumatologist diagnosd an undifferentiated connective tissue disorder. I did genetic testing yesterday. Hoping to get a specific diagnosis. Possible Ehlers-Danlos. I have not been officially diagnosed with IBS but if I have it it would be IBS-C.
