Hi @nealm,

I have found that if I use the low residue diet the majority of the time, I feel much better. For me, the abdominal pain has been reduced from an 8 or 9 most every day down to a 2 or zero on a regular basis. I cannot suggest that it would be that effective for everyone, but in my case, it works very well.

Every day? You don't get medication? Due to my 1st of 2 episodes being hospitalized with a perforation that repaired itself...I seek medical attention. But 6 years apart. Confusing!
