Has anyone here got diverticulitis...?

[carole]

actually the gastrosoothe she gave me has really helped heaps, the pain has subsided to almost gone, i am feeling my hip pain far worse, yes you are right i never want to feel that pain again, and yes it is very common as we age, the fun of aging, and yes karen there is always something,one sure gets sick of oneself at times.

I am going to stay away from sesame seeds, i did put those in my chicken and rice a few weeks ago and it was something i added that i normally don't ,one would wonder if it set it off,it all adds up though, i have often had funny pains in my sides and never got to the bottom of it, and worried about it, thinking it was something to do with my ovaries or my water works, now i am thinking it was probably this all along,so in some ways bit of a relief.

I have a pretty good diet really, not excessive in fibre but certainly not low, i eat weetbix for breakfast every day, i have fruit, salads, and veges every day, of course i do have splurges of the nawtee stuff like chocolate and sweets, and cakes at times, but mostly i eat reasonably healthy,so it does puzzle me a bit,i think it is just the aging process and lack of exercise in my case, gonna start on that dreadmill again, and try to get back into it, once my hip is better, still i think the diagnosis must be correct as i am much better now.

Yes just have to hope it does not flare up and get bad, thanks everyone for your input, advice and support. cheers.

gonna start on that dreadmill again,

Carole I too thought it was coming from an ovary or even that I was having appendicitis! I had to laugh at the reference to the dreadmill. If it was a typo (which I don't think it was) it was a good typo! haha!

Ah pam that is exactly what i thought too, but i had a ultrasound done and nothing showed up for the pain in my side, can it be pain in either side though, as this one which was really bad, was in the lower left, the one i have had on and off for years is always the right, and NO pam it was not a typo, i mean't the dreadmill, as i really dread it like the plague, but i will get back on to it as soon as i am able, i have come down with the dreadful cold my husband had, he is on holiday, think we picked it up from our elderly neighbour, her sister was out from England and had it while here, and then we went over there, and she had it, rather bad timing, hubby only has a week left,so much for the day trips we had planned,maybe later on in the week, i am trying a new product called first defence nasal spray, it is supposed to help get rid of the virus in your nose, so we shall see if it works or not, you have to get it either just before the cold or early stages, it is my first day, so here's hoping, i never get colds or viruses in the summer,first time ever. darn it all.
