Diverticulitis & Sigmoidectomy Comprehensive FAQ Document

Posted by bc321 @bc321, Aug 4 11:05am

I developed this FAQ document for a Diverticulitis and Sigmoidectomy patient group on Facebook and thought it may be useful here too. References used are listed at the bottom of the document.

@nancyclare - I do not have diverticulitis and have not had a sigmoidectomy. However, after a prolapse surgery I had a UTI, which is evidently common after this type of surgery. I was put on nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) and got a terrible rash. My surgeon then changed me to another UTI medicine.

Does nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) not work for you, or do you have a reaction to it?

@lisalucier I'm not familiar with the term.

@lisalucier it doesn’t work for me. I’m resistant to it. Have an appointment with my urologist on September 25 and I’m hoping that they can help me.
