IBS and Diverticulitis
I have both IBS and diverticulitis. I feel like I am constantly in a flare of some kind. Is there a way to tell which one is causing my pain?
I'm so sorry that you're dealing with both conditions, that must be very hard. You're not alone. I hope other community will share their experiences with you soon. In the meantime, here are 2 articles about living with IBS and diverticulitis: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/ibs-diverticulitis + https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/diverticulitis. Do you have any way to manage the pain? Wishing you all the best, Karina (team member) Thank you so much for your reply. Right now my pain management is to do a three day liquid diet. That is not sustainable! I bought some probiotics yesterday, so I will see if that helps. There are a lot to choose from. I just tried to get one with the most active cultures for the price. My biggest problem is I don't always know which problem is causing the pain. Thanks again. Goatherd
I really hope that the probiotic will work for you! Sometimes it takes some trial and error to find the right one, you could also ask your doctor or pharmacist to help you choose if you're not sure. A liquid diet doesn't sound sustainable indeed... Sending hugs, Karina (team member)
