Hello @happyat76

I am glad that Ethan invited me to your discussion. Yes, I'm very familiar with diverticulitis and have had lots of experience with bouts of it. Diet and avoiding constipation are the most important factors. Also, exercise and drinking lots of liquids which helps minimize the constipation problem which leads to the diverticulitis. There are good products such as stool softeners that can be used as well. I would also like to invite @thull as she has also had diverticulitis.

I noticed that you have a NET in your pancreas. I have had three surgeries for NETs and I'd like to invite you to the Connect discussion on NETs. Here is the link, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuroendocrine-tumors-nets/?tab=discussions. If you are open to sharing more, how was your NET diagnosed? Do you have diabetes as a result of the NET in your pancreas?

I hope that you are able to share more. I look forward to hearing from you again. Those of us with NETs are a rare breed and we thrive on information from others who have it.
