Hi i would be really grateful for anybody's accounts of their diverticulitis. What were the initial symptoms and how it progressed? How long did it last? How did you deal with it - diet? And did you have antibiotics/hospitalisation/rest at home? Did you work out what the trigger was? Many thanks in advance x
