Although I do not have diverticulitis that I'm aware of (I seem to have everything else). While I do have bouts of pancreatitis and must be on clear liquids also. I drank alot of beef & chicken broth and transitioned into soft...I keep either cooked rice or noodles on hand and added to the hot broth. Noodles might be more beneficial to you before rice as rice is small enough to be bothersome. Good luck to all,

Can't wait until Thursday when I get MRI of my stomach and my spine. Then have appointment with another gastro. I'm hoping for good results, but the pain on my right side has returned. Yikes!
I get burning on my right side. I’m having a different type of endoscopy to look at my stomach, liver and pancreas. I also think I passed a stone from my gallbladder duct, even though my gallbladder is gone The pain from diverticulitis and a stone are equally bad
When I have an infection, I must have clear liquids and antibiotics. After about 3 days, I ease into soft foods and a low residue diet. When completely healed I go back to my regular diet ( and attempt to get enough fiber). I take one stool softener daily. It’s important to keep things moving. Something that works for me is overnight oats with fruit. Fresh blueberries are also great! This is a frustrating disease!
When I’ve had diverticulitis, I ended up in emergency. A former gastro person told me another time and they’d have to do Colin surgery to cut out the bad part. I hope this never happens

Hello @snoony2 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm glad that you joined this discussion. I am sorry to hear of the pain you are experiencing. It sounds as if you are having several issues reviewed.
You mentioned that you are having "a different type of endoscopy to look at my stomach, liver and pancreas." Is this going to be an EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound)?

I have also been told that I I’ll need colorectal surgery - and I’m inclined to take that option. However, my surgeon has decided that it’s best that I wait. It’s quite confusing.

I always get a second and third doctor opinion before I do anything serious to myself. I never tell the 2nd nor the 3rd doctor what another doctor has said. They always just agree with what you tell them seems to me. My experience!

Thank you. Is there another brand also?

Waiting is a good idea and getting a second or third opinion, is also good.
