smoldering diverticulitis -how to understand it-what and when to act
Digestive Health | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
I suffer from diverticulitis. I had 10” of colon removed . I had frequent infections . Fevers and soreness . I do still have small flare ups . I counter them with diet mostly. No seeds! I don’t eat, strawberries , or any berries with seeds . Corn chips are out . Corn is mostly non digestible any way . No corn meal . No nuts. No food with nuts or seed, even if ground. And should I feel soreness in my colon area, or having bm’s that look like small pebbles. I start drinking LOTS of water. Usually I can fend an infection off . I also suffer with C Diff. And stage 4 Emphysema . My Life here is not pretty anymore. I will stay as long as I can stand. Blessed Be, Crystalena

Look up the probiotic Florastor. It contains saccharomyces boulardii and it appears to be one of the few that help combat c. diff. It's different because it's a yeast and won't even be killed by antibiotics. My surgeon recommended this and I feel after months of use it's really helped me overall. My GI system is not as sensitive as it used to be. If you do have a yeast problem, it may not be for you but overall has great reviews.
