Help with Food, etc, etc.

Hello all. I hope you are all having a great day. I just got home from my PCP. I was up all night....vomitting every 20 minutes. I had a severe pain in my lower left abdomen. I had the same problem exactly two weeks ago and came home with NO ANSWERS after 12 hours in the ER. I chose not to go again yesterday, rather stayed home in pain, and went to my doc this morning. I am going to see the gastro doctor tomorrow as my PCP thinks it may be diverticulitis. She has told me to eat no foods with seeds in them. this is going to be tough since I live on Very Berry Protein shakes, eggplant rollatini, and lentils. The thought of meat makes me want to So, since I can no longer eat my staples, can anyone give me some suggestions? I guess I can go back to mozz cheese sticks, but I ate so many of them I am turned off. Thanks so much for your help. Have a great day! SH

HOPE you get the answers real soon. A women in my local chapter for obesityhelp.com has the diverticulitis. AT first she was over whelmed by the diagnosis but i think she is doing fabulous now. GOOD LUCK finding foods you can enjoy. LISA

I suffered with diverticulitis for 4 years. I was actually hospitalized with it for 2 weeks once. It is serious business! I finally had to go for surgery last year (colon resection). You can eat anything except the following: Nuts, corn, popcorn, and anything with seeds(tomatoes, cucs, zuccini, eggplant, raspberries). I have always loved salad, so I just took the time to cut out the seeds. I'm sure you can still find lots of foods to eat! Good luck, and I hope you feel better! Gail
