I imagine that what you have is diverticulosis not divertucolitis. The divertucolosis is pockets in the lining of the intestine where foecal matter can be trapped. Divertucolitis is when that matter becomes inflamed and infected and is a very painful condition requiring antibiotics. |

i had a colonoscopy last year (very painful it was too), i also have diverticular disease. No one gave me a diet sheet so i had to look on the internet, now i avoid everything that has little seeds in it, also before the colonoscopy i had to go on a diet for 3 days.. i was not allowed to eat wheat products and i discoverd that my bloating stopped and i felt much better, so although the surgeon told me to eat lots of fibre i have, as much as i can stopped eating wheat products.I am a vegetarian so some times it hard to avoid seeds but i do my best, i don't want another bout of what i had before.. :-) |

I believe we have stopped paying attention to what our bodies are trying to tell us, often because advertizers can shout louder. |

I have porridge in the winter and rice Krispies in the summer. To fill my salads out instead of tomatoes i microwave some new potatoes or add an egg or a piece of goat's cheese. |

I was diagnosed 2 years ago. Was never told I couldn't eat things with seeds in - or to avoid anything. |

I've realised I can't eat bread that has gone through the Chorleywood process. It causes bloating, pain and nausea. I found out why when I read this: |

Very interesting article Maggie. I remember when "pan" loaves first came out in UK (about 1960?). I hated them! Much preferred the old fashioned "high-top" loaves with the dark brown, almost black, crust. The best white bread I've ever had was in Germany.. if you bought it for breakfast it was hard as a rock by lunchtime ~ no preservatives. The worst had to be US bread, so sweet it was like cake. |

Wisechild, I've occasionally get bleeding. My first thought was - how to tell work? :-( |
