Peppermint tea helps me most of the time. Someone suggested 2 tablespoons Metamucil in warm at bedtime so I’m going to try that. I also drink mineral oil when feel haven’t fully emptied. Sometimes I also drink green tea. Sometimes I feel lost with this condition, other times I feel down plus anxious. I was diagnosed last year with diverticulosis after having colonoscopy. At initial visit with gastro Dr he guessed it was diverticulosis from symptoms and he was right. When I feel pain on left side I get anxious thinking the worse. Earlier this year I had scan because of pain & it confirmed diverticulosis. Since last year when diagnosed I stopped eating nuts, popcorn, all seeds. I do have days where I eat something I shouldn’t and sometimes have discomfort and of course regret it. I have to improve on being consistent to make better choices. For most part I feel I’ve improved but still room for improvement. Tonight I’m up due to discomfort, mind goes where it shouldnt, thinking I should make appt with dr and ask if should get scan to make sure this hasn’t worsened. Appreciate any feedback and suggestions. I get anxious sometimes worrying about this.
