diverticulitis
2 Answers
I have been diagnosed with this for about 2 or 3 years and I only keep it bay with anti-diarrhoea tablets. However it is getting worse and tiring me and of course I am on edge when I get cut short which is often. My sister says the my bowels will stop working with taking these tablets.
