I apologize for using the Reply as I'm new to this site and don't know how to ask a question. I had diverticulitis at the end of Oct 2020 (second time - first was back in 2008 when i was in the hospital for a week). But I fell down the rabbit hole with anxiety, couldn't eat and now it's Feb 12th and I've lost about 25 lbs. Had my colonoscopy on Jan 13th 2020. GI dr couldn't complete the colonoscopy as I have something call tortuous colon and he couldn't get the scope through. He referred me to get a virtual CT scan (no fun). The colonoscopy and virtual scan came back normal except for this tortuous colon. I'm still anxious and finding it hard to eat. And then I deviate between having a lot of BMs or constipation. I also have internal hemorrhoids which occasionally makes my butt hurt when I sit. I'm just a basket case of worry. I'm constantly calling the GI's office. I'm sure they're getting tired of hearing from me, but all this makes me scared.
