Diverticulosis throughout entire colon -anyone?

I have had Divirticulitis for years. A year ago this month, woke up with severe pain on left side of stomach. I suffered a Perforated Bowel resulting in emergency surgery....all from having Divirticulitis. Pain meds and Aspirin can be a huge cause for this. I now have to wear a Colostomy bag because I had 1 foot of diseased colon removed.

SO sorry you had to go thru all this! I have a younger cousin with your and my diagnosis who said after she had a portion of her intestines removed, her pain level reduced, and she was much better. But in this forum it appears there are mixed results. (??)

Wow! Did you have any pain leading up to the perforation? I have like 3 flares a year. I have gotten to the point of not taking them as serious as I should I suppose. I just get aggravated because of the pain and tell myself it is my fault for not eating right. But it is a mystery sometimes because it seems to happen out of the blue. Thank you for sharing.
