I am not 2 bad today fairly goodish day for me still having a few problems but hey ho that's what IBS-Diverticular Disease does 2 people like us as all day I haven't been able to sit very comfy at all felt like sitting on rocks I am trying not to moan or groan to much as I am trying to be up beat but it's very hard work when you keep having this nasty pinching cramping and gnawing and pressure going on in my bum and the surrounding area and constant " urge" to poop all the time and being on&off the toilet every twing and tummy grumble and my pants and trousers up&down like a yo-yo and never knowing if I am coning or going Oh has anyone been told NOT to eat Brocolli? As the 1st low fodmap diet sheet I says I can but the last one that the Docs gave me last year says not to!!! any help please

Well you all take care of yourselves OK

I was also told to follow a low FODMAP diet following diagnosis of severe diverticulitis. This is the one I downloaded and printed off, keep in at hand and have followed for over a year. I find it helps keep me more or less flare-up free. Broccoli is one of the forbidden veg! Hope you feel better soon.
