hello everyone
i have recently been told I have diverticulitis disease but I am really struggling with tummy pain wind and constipation And diarrhoea causing me a painful rear end as can go up to 7 times a day does anyone else suffer like this ? I’ve found that ibruprofen should not be taken
paracetamol is ok but I find these just aren’t strong enough
any suggestions please would be appreciated

Unfortunately we can’t give you any medical advice because we are not medical professionals. I’d advise you to speak to your GP.0

Agree with Poppy123456 seek medical advice.
In the meantime you could go to your local chemist and ask to speak to the pharmacist where she could advice in the meantime.
For the diarrhoea you could ask if they thought imodium would be OK. Loss of fluids ask if it would be OK to take rehydration sachets.
As for pain relief only your gp can prescribe something stronger, I have Crohns and I get Co-codamol 30/500 as the codeine helps with with the diarrhoea.
I'm on a load of other stuff but only at the suggestion of my gastroenterologist.
If I were you I would definitely go to my local chemist and speak to the pharmacist she may even suggest a suppository or gel for backpassage pain, I get prescription only gel that works for me.
I do suggest that you try and get an appointment with your GP ASAP, take photos of your toilet graphic I know but it will give your GP a understanding of what your experiencing.
Good luck0
