Diverticulitis and colectomy
Has anyone had part of their intestine removed? I have diverticulitis and sometimes I still experience discomfort and constipation.

Had colon re-section 20 years ago and still get "flare ups"---and then sometimes develop into infections. Absolutely no clue why! But after the last infection and round of antibiotics, th discomfort and pain seem to be very lower left rather than the descending colon...more maybe where the re-section site is... Possible to be having issues there?????????Anyone have this ?????
