Anyone have diverticulitis?

Does anyone here have diverticulitis/diverticulosis? Do you feel really nauseous sometimes? What other symptoms do you get? How do you manage it? Just been diagnosed and yet to get all the info. Is there a particular diet which is good? Thankyou

Yes. Best to speak to a dietitian an elimination diet could be helpful in working out what works for you.
What works for one won’t necessarily work for someone else.
Drink enough water, and gentle exercise helps me a lot. Be careful with pain killers as many can cause constipation and that will make things worse. So check with your pharmacist about what to avoid.

Avoid seeds.
There’s a fantastic print out from NSW health under ‘diverticulosis’ as that’s the correct term when not inflamed, it gives a lot of really good information.
