Diverticlar disease

[Tea1234]

Hi all, just wanted to know if there is anyone suffering from this disease had it for many years, just over a year ago I have lost 4 half stone, plus my tummy has become very noisy and full of wind? Just wondering if normal with diverticlar disease? My diverticlar is throughout my whole colon now as a recent scan results.

Thanks Tea1234 2

I know several people with this and sometimes they have no symptoms whatsoever and i think in all cases it was found when in fact the medics were investigating something else. I have sometimes been able to hear their tums gurgling away at quite a distance especially if they eat certain foods, mine is the same and I have IBS. Stress can also make these things worse as we tighten up all over not just in the muscles of say the neck etc. If your symptoms are getting worse or this is an entirely new symptom for you that you have not brought your GP's attention to I would have a chat with them.x

I am sorry you are suffering! My husband has ulcerative colitis and though not the same has similar symptoms. What you describes sounds like what can be called percolator gut which is painful and noisy. It is just a symptom of active IBD.

Thanks for that, my younger son has colitis. We are both of pentasa. Xx
