Hi all, I'm 33 turning 34 next month and I need somethings answered. I went to the ER on Sunday afternoon and I ended up staying in the hospital for 2 nights. I was told I got Diverticulitis so they did Xray, blood test and Cat scan than I was put in 2 nights. Now doctors don't tell much, I ask questions and I get these different answers. I'm on flagyl and levaquin but today is the last day, I left the hospital on Tuesday night and it's been 7 days since, I was put on low res/low fiber diet but than noone is telling me what to do now. What do I do now that I'm off the pills and I still get a very dull sore kinda pain after few hours of eating these low res stuff (very little) food. I was told I need to go on High fiber diet but when? does these little dull sore/pain go on for a while? what kind of food can I eat and what can't I? What's gonna happen next and what to do? I wanted to doctors to answer all these but they are no help. Beside my PCP doctor appointment is still another week away. Some one please make me feel better! thanks!

I found most helpful Dr. to be a N.D. NOT the M.D. The N.D. took the time to explain to explain the intestines and mucus membranes. Key helpful remedies for me have been:
1. Keep well hydrated 2. Eat small portions of food 3. Eat easy to digest food i.e. fruits, vegetables, NO RED MEAT 4. I began high fiber diet after about 1 month from onset. when I had regular, easy bowel movements

its Mostly you have to watch what you eat..and Drink as well, My Dr told me to take in more Fiber the More Fiber the gooder i would feel Now and then i get the discomfort Pain ..specialy i reconized after eating a Hot dog for some reason or another , i beleive its the skin from it so i stopped eating that.. You need to Pay attention on what you eat , write down a Menu what you had and after a while write down How you feel ect: Then Look back over your notes , then you know what Night too eat ..and get your self some High Fiber supplements

In re to Barr62 i found i started to be bothered by hot dogs so i got the lite kind. It did the trick. I was the fat and i have the same problem with fat in other stuff like fried food for instance can't do it anymore. I can eat hot dogs again since switching to lite.
