Ibuprofen for diverticulitis
Common Questions and Answers about Ibuprofen for diverticulitis
ibuprofen
t had kids yet, but this kind of misery is not something a woman can live with. Ibuprofen is usually ineffective for this kind of pain and is really only going to aggravate the stomach and taking too much is too hard on the kidneys. Tylenol will not work and has had warnings in the news about liver toxicity even with taking the proper dosages. Such dosages are ineffective for this sort of pain.

I am skeptical of concluding that your rectal bleeding is related to gastritis or diverticulitis. Diverticulitis is a condition where the pockets (or diverticula) become infected; this causes severe pain, fever, and usually constipation. You probably mean that your gastroenterologist thinks the rectal bleeding is related to diverticulosis (which means the presence of the pockets or diverticula).
I'm posting this for my husband (40, 277, in good physical condition previously, with physically demanding job), who has been having medical issues for a year now. It began with waking up in the morning with pressure in his lower back that was remedied by going to the bathroom. Bending, twisting, picking up things, etc. never bothered him, which seemed to indicate it's not a back problem. Then it moved on to constipation, & when he could go his stool was flattened.
Thank you for your reply..I have diverticulitis per colonoscopy and pet scan.. I have read about overgrowth and did take cipro 500 mg daily for 5 days and came out of being so weak I could hardly walk episode!..the dr said just try and it helped..thank you! I know taking antibiotics when no fever or culture sounds questionable but it did help a few months ago.....I am in pain a lot but when I am really weak..I wonder if something else is going on..

It feels like a leg cramp, but under the rib cage, and locks me up pretty good for about 5-10 minutes. On occasion, it feels like a spasm in that it twitches. It happens about 1-2 times a month, usually when I am holding my child or bending over. Any ideas?
1. Can you have diverticulitis without a fever? I have had, for about 3 weeks, lower left abdominal pain and nausea exactly like the symptoms for which I was hospitalized in July 07, with the exception of no fever and no diarreah.
2. When I have this pain and nausea, should I go back to clear liquids or continue with high fiber. I am trying to intake mostly soluble fiber.
3. FYI: The Ct scan in July indicated diverticulitis with resultant IV antiiotics and clear liquids.
Thanks for the response. My diverticulitis is in the colon. My first attach was in 2007 and I have had a total of 10 attacks, uncomplicated, since then with only one hospitalization. I have had years with no episodes and then all of sudden, 3 episodes in a row within just a span of a few months. I don't know why I can go years with nothing and then months with recurrent attacks.
I'm concerned that you are still having pain.
I was finally told this weekend that I have Diverticulitis/colitis. For months, I have been searching for answers to what is wrong. The pain was finally so severe that I went to the ER thinking I had appendicitis. After a Ct scan with contrast, I was finally diagnosised. I have not had a colonoscopy. I am guessing this would be my next step? I have had back pain that feels like a kidney infection for a year. I had been tested for it and even kidney stones and was neg.
diagnosed with diverticulitis, have been on antibiotics for 24 days, off for the last 24hrs and the pain had returned along with several bowel movements, also been on a low fiber diet.
Also, little or no beef, and not to much wheat as it is bad for you in other ways. Other whole grains are much better for you. She highly recommends Flax seed. The best form of fiber suppliment is psyllium which you can get in capsules and in bulk. Avoid "bad fat" foods (cheese & fried foods etc.) I think the basis of the lactose thing is that there is a lot of animal fat in a lot of dairy foods. I have done really great since I have been on this regime.

When I first started on MedHelp, it was the first thing I thought of (patient as in always seeing doctors, not patient as in patience). The number relates to my birthday.
Is it common for people younger than 40 to get diverticulitis or colitis? I'm possibly going to have a colonoscopy done in the next few weeks and I'm only 26. My regular doctor mentioned that it could be diverticulitis.
diverticulitis usually is centered in your lower left abdomen because I was hospitalized with it myself for 2 days a couple of years ago. I want to know why we're not warned that totally unrelated health issues can happen after a colonoscopy. I've been told that colonoscopys can "trigger" your dormant diverticulosis and make it active. I hope you get some answers soon.
Hi, I am new to this site. I've coped with diverticulitis for a few years now, living with the pain and its limitations. Now I've hit a wall and my G.P. has signed me off work. Can't believe how poorly I feel and the pain is constant. Having tests to eliminate anything sinister. Thing is I never lose time from work and have had 3 weeks off so far which is worrying me. At times I think I should just battle thru but know I need help so I just feel like I am going mad.
The second time it was the diverticulitis plus a pneumonia in one lung. The third time it was diverticulitis plus pneumonia in both lungs. Each time my fever was above 105, so high that I don't even remember going to the ER. The last time I went to the ER, they told me that the infection was getting worse each time and that I eventually would not leave the hospital alive. Of course thats a scary proposition but I have no idea what to do about it. Now I'm in constant fear of death.
Is there anyone that has continual problems from a diverticulitis attack? I was diagnoised 11/30/10. I have good days but then this old thing comes back to bite me.
