Need advice on dealing with my diverticulosis

@Tom_Tom , I had my first flare up that sent me to the ER. I was feeling pain around my left side, front to back. I was give antibiotics, pain meds, and anti- nausea medication. It's been a week now and I'm feeling much better but definitely do not want to experience that again.

@Tom_Tom I’m having those same symptoms I went on to a liquid diet and I lost 15 pounds I’ve April like 10th - may10th I’m still getting nausea have you had a colonoscopy?

@Tom_Tom so I used to have really bad attacks all the time. I have been symptom free ever since I have been eating post shredded wheat with oat milk and psyllium powder every morning. High fiber foods are the key. The cramping was from my colon trying to push and nothing there for it to push against. It was the opposite of what I thought. Also very important not to eat popcorn, seeds, seed shells, and anything that might scrape up the colon. Also eat moderate meals not snacks and not huge meals. This also keeps your digestive system on a schedule so it gets time to rest. And never hold you poop. If you have to go, then go never wait.
