What great news to hear your colon is free of "pockets" -- obviously it wasn't a diverticulitis attack. Whew. Sure did sound like it though!
You say you feel fine now? And you got it all out? No pain? That's GREAT!
Michelle, do you keep a food journal? I used to keep one for over 3 years, every single day, in a chart form, recording everything I ate and its reaction. It was the best thing to help me pinpoint my triggers.
Have you gone on hiatus from fruit or veggies lately? I sometimes get backed up a little if I don't have my regular diet of blueberries and salad. Okay, for you it might be bananas and vegetable soup, but you get my drift.
I'd take it easy for a day or two, but try to get some veggies down you, cooked up so it's easily digestible, and maybe a fruit smoothie? Not a lot, but just enough to start regulating yourself a little.
Do you take a SFS? Have you tried Equalactin?
I know this is easy for me to say, but my suggestion is to find a different doctor. Sorry, but she doesn't sound very helpful to me....
