Hi @rubbob1 and @tracy430, welcome to Connect. It must be difficult to have such extreme pain in our muscles.

I wanted to introduce you to @mamacita @sakota and @thull all have mentioned diverticulitis in the past and may have thoughts on a diet to regain body and muscle strength.

I also wanted to offer this link, as it details foods to avoid as you live with diverticulitis: https://www.healthline.com/health/diverticulitis-diet-list-of-foods-to-avoid#foods-to-avoid

Back to you, what has your doctor said you should do? Did they offer any tips or guidance as to how to regain strength?

I hope I am posting to the right place here. I just don’t know what to do anymore. Small bowel obstruction in August 24, four bouts of CDF since then being unable to poop usually go up to a week without being able to have a bowel movement.must’ve told 10 doctors and asked for help. All say stool softeners and Miralax and it does not help. Finally saw a new GI doc yesterday who has prescribed Linzess for me. I am now afraid to take it and wondering why no doc had prescribed it before for me. Anyone had experience with this drug. Thank you.
