I am awaiting hearing back from the surgical team as to what’s next in my redundant colon treatment. In the interim, I take 1 T extra virgin olive oil at night to reliably move my bowels by the early morning, along with a full bottle of water when I arise. It’s a sure flush that works great! I find that my insides are “sore” and tender, so I am gauging what to consume based on this barometer. Staying clear of high fiber foods for now. Sometimes a plain baked potato and a cool vanilla shake is about all I can do. Not the best nutritional intake, but it soothes. Am drinking diverticulitis tea and sometimes slippery elm powder as well. Peppermints also help calm the digestive tract. Staying clear of red meat and doing only chicken, turkey, fish and eggs for now. A half ripe avocado and a bit of sourdough toast is a common diet. Hope this helps someone out there.
