Thanks to Bob and the rest who have come along in the past few days. Moderation is always a key.
Lyrical Lady and I both wound up in the hospital (2500 miles apart)at the same time with severe attacks, both close to surgery and in LL's case as I best recall, she was almost or was comatose for awhile. After we both passed the critical stage and returned home we found out we'd both gone through the same thing........I was going to say soulmates but bowelmates might be more appropriate...LOL.
Neither of us has had anything nearly as severe since but we both have very different foods we can and can't eat. Many ARE the same, but a lot are very divergent. I don't think LL will eat corn on a bet, but I might be wrong now. But at the time her attack was brought on by, basically, cornbread!
I think all the medical types mean very well but its the nature of this disease to affect us all somewhat differently I think and as I said, trying out tiny quantities of many foods and watching carefully for any reaction is just about all you can do to both be safe and also to have any kind of varied diet at all.
Earlier I clicked on one of our Google links adverts for a Diverticulitis Diet and found several things I am at odds with. Like I say.............To learn what your body can do you have to learn from your body.
