Hi @paularam1976, welcome to the community 😊 How are you doing today can I ask? My mum has diverticulitis and I know how much it has affected her.

Can I ask if you've had an occupational health review at all? You can read more about adjustments at work here if it's adjustments you are struggling to get: Reasonable adjustments at work | Disability charity Scope UK

I would also consider talking to ACAS: Acas | Making working life better for everyone in Britain

They have a lot of information about your rights in the workplace and they have a helpline that you can call and discuss your specific situation: Contact us | Acas
