Left side pain

Hi all , I know the left side pain is due to diverticulitis but it is much more frequent lately in fact it never really goes away

Not the sharp ouch pain and sore to touch that I went to dr for and got antibiotics last year

This is just a nagging ache if that makes sense

Side down to groin sometimes

I’m careful not to have skins or pips / seeds or nuts

I keep dairy free and gluten free which i do feel helps

Probably dont get my five a day if I’m truthful

No alcohol no fags and drink decaf coffee and water

Any ideas please

Fizzy drinks and the usual suspects (Brussel sprouts, sweetcorn etc etc). Are you still passing wind? Do you have C or D?

Sounds like me too! All the same symptoms and nothing can be done. So sorry. I know your pain. Have been taking gas x (simethicone) and helps with has/wind.
