many people over the years develop diverticulosis without actually knowing about it, it is basically modern western world diets which is the cause but for a few the pouches inside the bowel can get infected which as we know can be serious and can lead to stoma which in my case they can't do as they don't think that they can get enough bowel to the surface to make the stoma.
the imagining they are doing is a ct tomography which gives like a virtual image of the insides and that way they know what they are dealing with.
in my case they are going for management but there is all ways that risk of infection becoming serious and as they say that is that
like you ellyn i am on gastric meds but to be honest it is like taking sweeties which don't work too well.
the other downer for me is that the rectum is also diseased and i am suffering with bowel leakages which isn't great and with the latest news it looks like i am going to be stuck in diapers. they will be looking at what is causing it but the question remains, can they rectify it.
well ellyn i prayer that the disease you have doesn't get nasty and the antibiotics work and hoping that your imaging comes up with some answers.
t.c god bless,
