Soooo my lovely diverticulitis is flaring up (I think). I have been in BIG pain for the last week. I'm pretty sure that is what is going on.....anyways.......I was curious what everyone else does to help sooth the pains.

well i cant really tell you as i have been tested negative for having diverticulitis * doctor thought thats what i had originolay* but when i was in pain i used a medicanal herb that helps relive stomic problems i cant list the name and its not fully legal but it really does help like even just one or two "hits" will remove the pain for atleast a hour.. sorry your feeling so crappy hope you get better

I've had one major diverticulitis flare and the RX was an antibiotic and clear fluids for three days. Pretty boring but I lost weight and the pain subsided. Ignoring the pain can eventually lead to a perforated bowel and possible surgery to remove part of the bowel.

Lister-

Thanks for the info, however I don't think I'll be picking up an illegal drug habit anytime soon. :lol:

Richard- I know I know.......I sure DON'T want surgery. This is the first time it has ever really hurt like this. I really don't have a clue what I ate to flare it up.

So far I'm just eating soft foods and taking some ibuprofen. It felt a little better this morning. Hopefully that continues. ;)

My BIL had the surgery to remove part of his bowel for diverticulitis and he is still having problems... I'm willing to bet the guy has major problems with his diet, but no one listens to me anyway.

I have this also. But my GI has never even addressed this with me. (former GI). I don't do anything for pain. I guess I can call my pcp and see if he can perscibe me something. It sucks alot of people have this, I am glad there is information here about this. Thanks

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Janet McAlpin · Posted

      Will do! Here are some other test results from the last few days using the Elisa Technologies tests. All of these products tested Gluten Free, ( or more accurately, under 10ppm)  - Teddies crunchy Peanut Butter  - Philosopher Foods Sprouted Almond Butter - Jacobsen Salt Co Black Garlic Ginger Salt

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored.  My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels.  Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not lose the gain.  There have been numerous clinical trials on kidney transplant patients with doses as high a 1.5million IU with no ill effects.  But those are a one time bolus under the care of doctors.  One conumdrus of these really high  dose supplements is a higher incidence of falls.  The answer is that the patient feels so good, they are more active than usual before regaining strength and balance.

      Yes, 50k IU daily would be an a short term front end loading dose for those having critically low levels but you wouldn't want to take it for an extended period.

      That's 20ppm, not 20,000 ppm. https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/gluten-and-food-labeling "The rule specifies, among other criteria, that any foods that carry the label “gluten-free,” “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” or “without gluten” must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten."
