No test for gallbladder. Doctor said it is diverticulosis. I only eat fish or chicken now so I can go couple of days without pain. I need to get a second opinion. Sharp pain just happens still but not all day as before. Is that a good sign?

Did your doctor actually order a workup (including xray, CT scan, colonoscopy) to positively diagnose diverticulitis? In addition, an upper GI series including a cholecystogram or CT scan/MRI might be a good idea to rule out gallbladder disease.

If it’s diverticulitis it’s usually on left and you can feel really sick- that is inflammation / infection of diverticula. Diverticulosis is usually not causing pain.
Chicken and fish are great foods. Low fat. I could eat fish every meal! Always feel good. I have to be careful with beef, pork and sausages. Too much fat = right upper abdominal pain.
I had my gallbladder out but even afterwards I had problems because of tiny gallstones trying to pass= lots of pain. I sometimes also could scream with pain. Better now after they made it easier for minute stones to pass.
I think a second opinion is a great idea for you.
It’s easy to check gallbladder with ultrasound.
