In 2014, I had a bowel obstruction. I had to have emergency surgery. The doctors never mentioned that I had diverticulosis. Years later, I order different medical records, and I see diverticulosis over and over again in my records. I started having extreme pain on the left sid last week.. Every time my bladder filled, the pain became worse until I relieved my bladder. I went to the hospital, and they told me that I had diverticulosis. The doctor explained that because the bladder and colon are in tmsame area, I feel pain in my bladder. The muscle spasms are horrible. I've been constipated since last week. I thought that I was dying. I don't understand why the doctors don't tell you that you have diverticulosis and that there is a possibility that you may get diverticulitus. I've already had the bowel obstruction. I've had continuous issues with constipation. If the doctors tell patients ahead of time, this would give you a chance to change your eating habits. Corn, peanuts, almonds, popcorn, and beans are all things that I eat frequently.
Mildly spicy soup while recovering well, and it made me sick 3 more days. Pain was almost instant, nausea 3 days. I don't like spicy anyhow, didn't realize it was spicy until I had 2 big gulps (I had it cold in a thermos). Now I know, spicy is a no when recovering from diverticulitis.
In the year 2024, and the experts still have differing opinions on fiber! Crazy! Thousands of carnivores worldwide consume zero to very little fiber, without any problems.
They told me no seeds no salads nothing spicy or fatty foods. No high fiber diet normally they say consume high fiber. But everyone is different some people can graduate to eating high fiber right away.
@@clinicalchronicles disagree on seeds. I was speaking to one Doctor Who said that the study many doctors point to Which says that seeds and nuts are fine if you have diverticulosis was not based on the population of people that have diverticulosis but a population of regular folks. Which shows correlation but not causation. It’s a useless study. Also I know many many people with diverticulosis that simply cannot Eat any seeds or nuts or else they get an attack. My wife is one my friend is one people and groups I am in the majority say the same

Im sorry to hear about the troubled experience. Hopefully now you can adjust and all is going to be better in terms of the issues.
Diverticulitis mimics a variety of diseases such as alcoholism, Google it.

Definitely not the way!

It is crazy indeed. We should all be focusing on fiber. Even our ancestors did!
@@clinicalchronicleswrong. Fiber is not been digested nor is it needed.
@@DouglasKphotoi suggest you reconsider. Fiber is crucial to a healthy microbiome.
@@clinicalchronicles i’ve done the research and you’re wrong
@@DouglasKphoto there are many aspects like i mentioned in videos. Fiber is critical to a healthy microbiome and has been through human civilization.
I used to swallow papaya seeds, but no more as seeds can lodge on the diverticula causing diverticulitis.
What fruit do you consume now mostly?
I still don't know what I'm supposed to eat to heal my diverticulitis while I have it.
@@barbarajansen4912 have a look at the videos to get some inspiration. I do hope things improve!

Disagree on seeds
What’s on your mind?
