Diverticulitis diet

[Isazarfra3]

My name is Barbara and have had several hernia operations and by 2015 I suffered a strangulated hernia. Since then I have had mostly diarrhoea making it impossible to go out without preparation and watching what I ate.Diverticulitis was diagnosed but not treated other than my medication for constipation and for diarrhoea. Recently having felt very nauseous for a few months I was referred to Hospital fora C T scan..... this process took so long because of workloads .... and I have again been told I have Diverticulitis which should be treated with a high fibre diet.

I have asked to see a dietician but told just look on the internet and see what agrees with you.

Ask your GP to refer you to a dietician,to sort out a fodmap diet that works for you.

Hi I was diagnosed with diverticular disease in 2017 I requested to see a dietitian at my GP surgery but apparently only people with diabetes are referred now and also just told u look at what to eat online .It's just trial and error see what works for you

Hi Barbara, sorry to hear that. If you are struggling to get out and about we recommend using a can't wait card and/or RADAR key to help you gain access to toilets when you need them. More info here theibsnetwork.org/shop/supp...
