Yep. I seen a new one yesterday. Not sure how my old one kept putting me on meds and never thought about telling me to take a probiotic knowing that would mess me up. This is crazy. It’s okay. I will feel bette r soon I pray
Try stop eating lettuce and stay away from milk. Sure help my stomach issues. And no small seeded foods also.
I have the same diverticulitis along with Ehlors Danlos syndrome and Fibromyalga and mass cell activation syndrome. Fiber replacement comes from Juice+ I take. It's a whole food nutrition addition to my diet.
Juice + what is that.
Hello @ciebrown. I am sorry you are struggling with diverticulitis. There are others here who can understand your situation, so you will notice I have moved your post into an existing discussion that you can find here:

I see others have joined you already to share some of the tips they have found to be helpful. I was also going to ask about your diet and the modifications you've made. What foods have you wholesale eliminated? Perhaps it is time to consider a food journal to see what others may be contributing to feeling worse after consumption. Have you ever tried that before?
Maybe time to see a new Gastro Dr? Make sure to read reviews online at like Health grades or other sites before making appt .
I’ve gone to 6 Gastro Dr’s in 10 years, and waiting in 7 th in Oct . I’ve even been to Mayo Clinic Jacksonville Dr’s and testing there . I have 6 diff diagnosis and tried everything. Yet still each day is a nightmare for me . I understand so completely what you are going through . It makes one want to give up . Keep searching , get a 2 nd , 3 rd opinion. Praying 🙏 you get healed . Me too …
