There is a thread about colonoscopy. I thought I start a new one because of diverticula.
First colonoscopy at age 53, 8 years ago. 4 polyps removed.
2nd one 5 years ago. 1 polyp removed and also diverticula (he included 3 pictures) found.
Last month, I did the 3rd one at now 61. 2 polyps removed and looks like more diverticula found (6 pictures of these).
My next one will be in 5 years.
Polyps were all benign, but doctor told me not to include seeds, nuts in my diet. If I develop symptoms such as abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, change in bowel habits, call my primary doctor. DW took all my nuts away.
I guess, there is no cure for this. How likely does one develop a diverticulitis by eating seeds and nuts? Google search has some mixed reviews with this.
