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

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies
