I have diverticulitis. I had surgery in 2004 and have just recently had a flare up which is being treated with antibiotics. My advice to both of you is of course, follow your doctor's instructions. If you haven't had a colonoscopy, you probably should. By all means, if you have sharp pains, especially in your lower left belly, please do not try and wait it out. When my pain started (after weeks of severe bloating), I went to the hospital because I knew something was wrong. I caught mine early so my surgery was done with a scope Laprascope(sp) I believe. I hope neither of you will require surgery and wish you the best. I wish I could help you but I know of no way to relieve the pain and the discomfort. I still have crazy bloating and am looking for a good cleanser for my colon. Good luck to you both.

I have this condition,however when I feel a flare up coming I drink 2 pints of warm ,heavily salted water which makes me feel bad and passes rapidly through the body. However it rapidly heals the inflammation present. I also avoid cows products as these always start a re action.
Hope this helps, H
