My girlfriend told me to cook fruits, vegetable, eggs, even prunes and let them cool before putting them in a blender to make it into soup which should not stick to the colon. She gave me beet liquid she made. It was good. She says, "That's a Liquid Diet". I'm starting it today. So much work!! I hope it really works.
I cooked some prunes, mashed them, put them in the blender, put them in empty Snapple bottle, put in fridge overnight, drank some this morning. Not bad at all. Today, will cook some veggies. No pain so far. Maxine
I had my last colonoscopy a 2-3 years ago and told my GI I was having sharp stabbing pain in my left lower pelvis area. He dismissed my concerns and said it was my IBS. I told him I know I've had IBS/GERD now barretts for 30 years and know the symptons. Fast forward I struggle with IBS - C and D and and I starting having that pain more frequently. I know what to eat and what no for my issues. Recently I noticed my bowel movement were perfect balls about a little smaller than a golf ball. always about 5 at a time. Then I noticed mubowel movement looked identical like small pellets. Bouts of normal movement, constipation, severe diahreia not making it to the toilet in time or I my colon was like numb and I would have a small movenet with no feeling until i got the the bathroom. It has advanced and I changed Gi's and can't get an appt. until the end of July. A recent scan can showed diverticulousis but I know it has advanced beause I sometime see light pink tinge after I wipe. I have about 8 major autoimune illness and a ton of offspring. Lupus and Sjogrens have helped themself to all my organs and body parts literally. I feel like I'm slowly dying. Any comments, suggetions would be appreciated,. Wondering why my doctor didn't see the diverticulosis when I had the colonscopy. Is it visible? How long does it take to take from the time I started having sharp jabbing pain in my pelvis to diverticulitis. Many thanks.
I was at a new doctor's office this week SHE said that according to my CT, Ultra Sound and symptoms, I have a Fistula leaking into my gall bladder. OMG. She now has the MRIs to make final decision, but she stated that she thinks I need laproscopy to close the fistula. Anyone else had this surgery to close a fistula? I'm so scared!

Hello @maxine50,
A laparoscopy is a non-invasive type of surgery and much easier to recover from than a more invasive surgery. Here is some information about laparoscopic procedures: https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/general-surgery/arizona/services/robotic-surgery
While this article is about gynecological surgery, many members of Connect have had gallbladders removed by a laparoscopic procedure including @tasha00. I hope that she connects with you and I hope this gives you some helpful information until someone who has had laparoscopic surgery responds to your question.

Thanks for the site info. I hope they don't want to remove my gall bladder only close the fistula. Now, I'm really scared. Waiting to hear from doctor so I must just relax.

Were they certain fruits and vegetables?
That she cooked before adding to the blender.
Thanks
She said everything! But, I just made some white rice which seems to be alright to eat.

1 ReactionYes, please relax, @maxine50. Why you think your gallbladder will be removed? Has there been an indication that there is a gallbladder problem?

1 ReactionNo, don't think my gall bladder will be removed, but what if when they get inside and see something that shouldn't be there. I'm just worrying.

1 ReactionI wish I could go to bath room to just pee and not find poop in my pants. I don't even know it's happening or why. I'm so tired of all this!
