Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 Thanks Susie. It was painful, but surgery solved that. The good thing is that my diet will not be restricted because of it. Without surgery I would have been unable to eat nuts, seeds, peels etc. I haven't had any nuts yet, but I do have a few jars of macadamia nuts in the cabinet. I may try a few today. in CA Re: My Intro > Welcome in California! Sorry to hear about the diverticulitis.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 Dear i am surprised your drs didnt blame the atkins diet for your illness and let you keep on doing LC was there any discussion of it?? most Drs are very suspicious of it catherine ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2001 Report Share Posted January 9, 2001 I hadn't been on Atkins long enough for it to cause this problem. I did talk to my surgeon after surgery and he gave me the go ahead to resume Atkins. He was knowledgeable and said it was a healthy way to eat!!! I knew I liked this doctor when I first met him LOL. BTW -- diverticulosis is very common in the US in people 40 and over, small pouches and bulges in the walls of the large intestines. It is caused by the typical low fiber diet. Normally, it does not cause any problems. When food and waste becomes trapped in the 'pouches' it becomes inflamed and infected, thus diverticulitis. I spent 2 days in the hospital on IV antibiotics which helped, but did not clear it up completely. That's why we decided on surgery. I feel so much better now. in CA Re: My Intro > Dear i am surprised your drs didnt blame the atkins diet for your > illness and let you keep on doing LC was there any discussion of it?? most > Drs are very suspicious of it > catherine > _________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
