Prayers sent your way my friend! I’ve had about 4 diverticulitis attacks over the past 6 years or so. I ended up in the ER on the first one. I figured out what you are doing during the second episode. Massaging the left side of your gut as you try to go does help somewhat, after you’ve taken some stool softener. Fasting for a few days, plus plenty of water and beef broth does the trick. I do like the weight loss though.
