Had my 1st bout of diverticulitis in 2021 was good for 2 years then had 3 attacked this year 2024. Watched my diet but nothing helped. My last flare was my first complicated version. Was on work travel and ended up in the ER with a micro perforation. Was admitted on IV antibiotics for 3 days flew home for more hospitalizations and was given a PICC line to administer antibiotics at home and cool down the colon before surgery. Just had surgery on 8/8/24 and am doing pretty well. I had hoped to avoid surgery but it was no longer an option

I’m with you… have never had repeated attacks like many people talk about never ended up in the hospital or IV antibiotics but per colonoscopy in January was diagnosed with severe diverticulosis and have not been able to get back on track since… I’m looking at surgery just to avoid complications in the future. Have tried adjusting diet and going to a naturopath getting natural, anti-inflammatories, etc. but nothing is working!! CAT scan yesterday and only one I’ve ever had just said severe sigmoid diverticulosis…not gonna go away 😫
I hope you mend well. ☺️
