I had 3 flareups in 6 years. Never as bad as yours ( never had to go to ER). Antibiotics helped. Gastroenterologist said it would keep happening unless they removed the diseased part of the colon. I had surgery 8 weeks ago. Much better if you plan ahead for surgery rather than have it on an emergency basis during a flare up in the ER. My colorectal surgeon had 10 years experience doing robotic surgery for diverticulitis. Recovery is slow but improving every day. Good luck.
If you have IBS-d or c. My solution is take digestive enzymes and high probiotics supplements before a big meal. Amazon or go to health food store. To regulate for IBS-c take Metamucil as needed. It work for me.
I had my gallbladder surgery over a year ego and I was a mess. Good luck going Natural way is the best. Watch your diet eat low fat foods no greasy or fatty meals.
