What is diverticulitis? Causes, symptoms, treatment & more 

My GF was diagnosed with Colon diverticulitis,here to understand the disease better...Pray for her

Because I live in the USA and so many folks here are scared of lawsuits and ridicule you can't get this straight talk. Thank you for sharing your point of view. It was helpful.

I had diverticulitis a few years back. It started with a bloated constipation sort of feeling then had severe abdominal pain and ran a 102F fever. I drove myself to the ER thinking I had appendicitis. The way they found out was to do a CT scan with contrast--having to dye every half hour for 3 hrs. Finally got better with antibiotics. Thankfully mine was acute and went away in a few weeks

Thank you for making this video!

Thanke you very much D Lisa you discuse all the subjecte in few minutes very infomative and beneficial. God blessed you.

I've had diverticulitis for about 10 years. I stay away from seeds and nuts particularly, in my case they will more than likely or not cause an outbreak. "Gas"pills dont help, alka seltzer does, cannibis helps the most. Your diet is the key, however, if you have other ailments as I do, some of the recomended foods can cause other problems... you can't ignore it, that's for sure! Years ago, I got Beaver Fever, that was the most similiar feeling or illnes I would compare it to. The pain I experience is far worse than when I had appendicitis! It can be incredibly painful, my last attack (no doc) lasted 8 days of almost constant pain! Those memories inspire you to monitor your diet! LOL LOL Good luck God bless!

Thank you so much for this informative video as I was unaware as to what this was and how you can be affected.

Going through my second severe attack in less than a year. Was prescribed Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole for antibiotics, Indomethacin for pain, and Lactulose to help clear me out. This is the absolute worst pain I've ever been in, and I can't stop dry heaving all day. I've been drinking as much water as I can tolerate, and I'm praying I heal soon. I would never wish this on anyone.

Thank you Dr. Das!

Thank you doc. Very informative and quiet consoling.

I was diagnosed with diverticulitis 2 years ago, and now I have a good sense of when the next flare-up is imminent. It's almost like I can predict it as soon as I consume something that I know I shouldn't. The symptoms include abdominal pain, accompanied by a mild fever, weakness, and an overall feeling of lethargy. To manage the fever, I take Advil and switch to a liquid diet for a minimum of three days. Thankfully, by the third or fourth day, I usually start to feel better. I've noticed that the key to avoiding such episodes, at least in my case, is to be extremely mindful of my dietary choices.

❤thank you so much this was quite informative

Thank you for your video

Very nice, Thanks.

Diverticulitis was the worst pain!

I’ve been diagnosed with this - my main symptom is slight blood loss in the colon. The blood loss can make me tired & I occasionally feel a bit sick but that is it at this stage for me. Thanks for uploading this video and everyone’s comments to support each other and share information. Being careful re: eating is key.

I've just been diagnosed with this awful painful condition and never felt so nauseous and ill. Hopefully will get there though.🤦

I just got diagnosed with this. Just had an attack Friday, lasted 18 hours. Brutal, brutal pain...ab pain, projectile vomiting...horrible pain. Once it passed I slept for 24 hours solid. Wouldn't wish this on anyone. If I'd been able to walk I'd have found something to end it all with. Brutal, brutal pain. I'll never eat again. Broth till I die.

Having a glass of Metamucil every day has bought my Diverticulitis under control, no pain for the last 3 years and I can eat whatever I want. Have told 3 other people and their pain is gone also.

Well I was rushing myself into a hospital and I was diagnosed with diverticulitis they gave me a course of antibiotic and painkillers because the pain was atrocious and then I forgot about it and then I've had to episode since and these are what I've gone through with all three. I've I was literally undressing on the toilet the cold sweat that I was going through was unbelievable I ended up feeling nauseated and felt like I wanted to throw up when that didn't happen the heat of my body was so intense that I had to go and lay down on the bathroom floor naked just to bring the temperature down. The last time I did that I lost my bowels on the floor there was no blood present in the toilet or on the floor until after I got up and after an hour I'm standing now I'm wondering what the hell happened to cause this Blood to come down and it continued for three days the doctor at the hospital said that he wanted to give me a cortisone suppository which I refuse to take wasn't going to stay up there anyways because of the bleeding what are your thoughts I'm going to see a gastroenterologist again but I thought I'd get a feel for what's going on with a response from you

This video gave me a lot of peace of mind, the way it's explained lowered my anxiety about being diagnosed with diverticulitis. (32, got pains on the right side, not asian, guess I'm just that special). But in my case doctors prescribed me antibiotics and a fluid diet for 24 hours, then said I'd be ok to eat low fiber/no fat meals

Wish I had this info two years ago, before I found myself in a hospital. Third day in perforated and was off to the OR with great haste. Today I may be missing some colon, but I’m still rolling.

I just got diagnosed today and i am always bloated.

What is the best way to reduce the stomach pain, Pepto didn't work at all.

I was diagnosed with it after my colonoscopy on Wednesday. I'm 35 I have a follow-up on my doctor in 2 weeks maybe they'll give me some antibiotics or explain to me how to manage it. I thought I had stomach cancer or an ulcer and even bad heartburn when I'm glad my colonoscope doing well though and I hope I can get through this Diverticulitis

i was first known i had diverticulitis at the age of 15 im 18 now and still get pains thank you for this video

Yes,I can go to medical treatment,.but what can I personally do routinely for treatment?

I get very bad flare ups the pain is so awful at times l can't handle the pain l had a very flare up yesterday nothing seems to be working for me at present

My paperwork came in from consultant saying moderate/severe what does that mean

I have it rn and it hurts sooo much.. I told my mom but she said if I still have the pain after a week she’ll bring me to the hospital

I think I have this as I have a hot duck egg shaped pain low down on my left hand side that flares up and I have to live in the bathroom for about 8 hours in agonising pain and cold sweats... not fun at all

Very interesting, but the background noise is terrible.

yes it's important to recieve treatment but the nhs are terrible and they do not help with this illness!!!

I got diagnosed with diverticulosis and when I was 19..

i had low back pain too excruciating!

So right now I have severe pain and bloating in my lower abdomen. I feel shooting pain going to my rectum and sometimes the ...well you know. Im peeing about twice as much as I should but not emptying my bladder and going #2 with the same result. Never getting empty. As soon as I eat im bloated. Thoughts???

Literally suffering with all this been doctors they felt my tummy I was really tender on lower left abdomen and struggling to keep food and some time liquid down… my crp is up and temp was a little high… had bloods done 2 times as the first lot they dropped on the floor of the lab, gave me nothing for the pain or sickness and just sent me home as constipation. Just wish they would have done more or even just done a scan as I’m struggling really bad now just want some easing…. Oh and my stomachs bloated ridiculously 🥺💔

Good video.... but doctors just diagnose you and send you on your way with no advice etc.... plus lockdown is terrible for diverticulitis 😍

I've had it for years and I'm no expert but it seems to me that stress can be a factor. I'm also wondering if there's something in fast food that causes it too or a combination of the two. Obviously it's a very tricky disorder so just food for thought no pun intended.

I had this problem too. This is what I used Weedborn CBD products for :)

I had one.after 4 years today i have little pain in stomach and fever.

Would diverticulitis affect bladder functioning and urine frequency? Even cause UTI?

My buddy has little bumps but they don't cause pain.He went to doc they said it was nothing but there still there.he is 45 male.

I’m having discomfort on my left side of my stomach not hurting but feels like a blockage can’t empty my stool completely. Lost 10 pounds in 3weeks. Went to doctor yesterday they X-ray my stomach. I’m waiting for them to call me back.

So water fasting for 72 hours can clear this right up. Thank you!

Consult your doctor after you get sick. The definition of sickcare.

This is more painful than breaking bones

Is this danger sir? My dad facing same problem. Doctor give some antibiotics medicine. Do need to do operation?

Well damn. They told me don't google my symptoms so I RU-vid it instead. Thanks. And damn that sucks, Explains my lack of sleep, appetite, long rr breaks...due to that damn pain on the left.

Drs study medicine, and therefore know that some "Gastro" types of meds are likely to cause this side affect. I don't know why they're saying "causes are unknown".

2 .57 mind for diet . K

My doctor prescribed me Metronidazole and Ciprofloxacin twice a day, but also mentioned that if it didn't improve to go to the ER for a CT scan. After 2 days I wasn't noticing improvement and the pain was getting worse, so I was reluctantly willing to drag myself to the ER the next day. After the 3rd day the pain decreased by about 30% to 40%. My advice is to wait at least *three* days.

Keep off the fibre and add butter to move the food along more easily.

Is that on the left lower side of the ribs?

I have diverticulitis but I get sudden diarrhoea anytime.

A friend told me he cured himself of diverticulitis by drinking food grade diatomaceous earth.

I don’t think she told what caused it. That makes me very suspicious

I have read that if you diverticulitis...you have to avoid popcorn and seeds...

👍🏻🤝💯💯💯♥️♥️♥️

They know absolutely nothing everything drs amd 'experts ' say is always conflicting and backwards , hopeless

This is evidence that god does not exist because no supreme being would create such a flawed system! 😢
