Hi, i have diverticulitis and been living with this for some time now, recently it's been getting worse and i'm constantly in and out of hospital with it, just being given antibiotics and told that i basically have to live with it. Please does anyone have this? Did you find a solution to it? Treatment that worked? Any experiences with this would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Find yourself a good gut probiotic. Inner health gut restore is great. You have to really watch what you eat. Best to see a dietician and see what foods are best to to eat. I know several people with it.
I’ve had this since I was a teenager. Would be in so much pain I’d end up in the ED and then the pain would suddenly clear and I’d be performing on stage within a couple of hours.
I manage it with a balanced diet. I find eating fairly consistently helps. I used to have quite severe pain attacks which would leave me curled up in a ball for several hours (up to 6) and then it disappears suddenly.
As long as the pain stops on it’s own after a few hours I used to manage it at home.
Now I probably get pain once every few years.
Exercise is definitely helpful, not letting myself get constipated etc
