Chin up! It’ll be fine 👍 

Really sorry to hear that! Take care of yourself! 

Aww hope you feel better soon god they need to look into this, this is on /off 

Check with doctor weight gain isn’t the worst thing take care of yourself 

take care! 

Cheers guys. Megan, sadly it's a disease I have for life :/ 

Aww sorry to hear that! Well I hope you feel better soon  

10 yrs and 12 inches of intestines gone. The bloat after the attack and subsequent antibiotics can really mess with any diet plan. I use isometrics to relieve the abdominal cramping, warm compresses, plenty of water and apple cider vinegar. Hope this helps.  

Sorry to hear that Alnona. I have antibiotics now. And thank you. 

Feel better soon and be really kind to yourself :-) x 

Like Yasmine said it's a life condition but it's doable. I feel great and the attacks have become less now that I'm eating cleaner.  

Hope you feel better soon. I have to say I never knew antibiotics resulted in weight gain??? 

Diverticulitis is so painful. I got it on holiday in Hilton Head (little did I know that eating tins and tins of delicious cashew nuts could be a factor in getting and incredibly nasty.condition). So I do really feel for you.  

feeling well and being pain free is the most important Yasmine so remain positive and take care of yourself above all 👍 Mawr cwtchies ❤x 

There’s nothing worse then being in pain so if taking antibiotics will stop it but you may gain a little weight in the process I’d say that’s a fair swop you’ll get back on track and lose it again, your health is the first and only priority nothing else, you’ll be fine 👍 

Aw thank you all 💜 yes jimporter, at least for me. It kills bacteria, including good bacteria in your gut. Another side effect would be thrush because it kills the good bacteria. 

Hi I have just been diagnosed with this -do you poo blood after a diarrhea spell ? 

Stay on top of it Yasmine! My wife had it to the point of developing a leak in her intestine, requiring emergency surgery. 

Lomond, I have. I had an op 2 years ago and keyhole surgery to sew back up a perforated bowel. That's when I was diagnosed. I get very ill if I eat a lot of oily food or drink cider. Those are the only things that seem to affect me. I don't know what caused it this time. And I'm also not supposed to eat seeds, cause they can get trapped. 

Thanks Tom. It's not a nice thing to have to deal with.
