Mucusy blood on stool

Posted by ann64 @ann64, Oct 27, 2016

I was dxd 2 years ago with mild diverticulitis. I have lately been not eating properly. 7 grain bread, cashew nuts, salads, raw fruit, and Motrin each night for arthritis. I became constipated, then had diarrhea and saw blood on the stools (not in them). I go faithfully for colonoscopies every 5 years and am due in 2 years. All has been clean. I am hoping this is a flare up of the diverticulitis. Wondering if anyone has had this and advice. I am 63 years old and am giving this a week or 2 to clear up with eating light and right. Thank you. Ann

Hello @ann64, and a warm welcome to Connect. You have come to the right place, because here you will find a a lot of relevant information and support as we have quite a few members who have diverticulitis.

I'd like to introduce you to @retrebotic, @disfraz1, @allegro, @michellr, @aigimw, @lindainarizona, @wesbig, @user_cha5e73f6, @akogut, and @peterhamilton who have posted about diverticulitis, and can hopefully provide some insights.

@ann64, we look forward to getting to know you better. What has helped you the most to manage this condition? Do you have any advice that you can share with the group?
