Hello @suez and welcome to Mayo Connect! We are so pleased that you have joined this online patient support group. I appreciate your question - yes many have posted regarding these two digestive disturbances. Here are some discussion groups that you might find helpful, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/diverticulitis-also-execrine-pancreatic-insufficiency/?pg=1#comment-56845 and http://mayocl.in/2o2rohS. Here is some information from Mayo Clinic about diverticulitis: http://mayocl.in/1DZsj1Z and “Are there trigger foods I should avoid to prevent diverticulitis attacks?” http://mayocl.in/2o27J2a “Diverticulitis diet” http://mayocl.in/1Fjc7O4. I would also like to invite some members who have discussed this previously and have offered some helpful suggestions, @gailfaithe and @jewill.

As you have just recently joined Mayo Connect, we would enjoy getting to know you. If you are comfortable doing so, please share a little more information. For example, how long you have been experiencing these bouts of colitis and diverticulitis? Does there appear to be any triggers for these problems (like certain foods, etc.)? What does your doctor say about the frequency of these problems? Teresa
