Fiesty76, oh my goodness, thank you so much for your very helpful reply. (for one thing, it reminded me I too have diverticulosis, or itis, I forget which) It's so interesting that a doc-prescribed drug for diabetes gave you all those problems, and that ginger helped. You never know. And you are right; the weight loss is the most worrying of the symptoms I have. In ordinary times, I would have seen a doctor about it already. But then, in ordinary times, it probably wouldn't be happening.
I am so sorry you have CKD, and the other diagnoses. Thank you for reaching out to me. Best wishes to you in your struggle.

You are so welcome, @zep and thank you for the good wishes. Divert. is a bear as you know!..and so is constipation!
With divert. I ff'd a very strict re-introduction of certain foods, charting my meals and frightened of another bout. We each are so different with maladies and symptoms but in my situation, diarrhea vs constipation was the big culprit.
I'm just wondering, if a call to your doctor, who knows your health history, might make it possible for a prescription for something by phone which could be delivered?
When stressed, I've always tended to lose my appetite; others report they eat more. I'm just wondering if others are experiencing and reporting more digestive upsets now. Regardless, sudden, ongoing, undiagnosed wt loss and more frequent constipation are concerning. I'm sincerely hoping you can do some research, reach out to your doc and find some relief and help. Best to you.
