Here we go again. My doctors (Neurologist, Gastrointinologist, Internist, Pulmonologist, urologist, etc.) are stumped. Me too.

I have had pain in the lower abdomen off and on since last November. Finally they did a CT Scan and found I have diverticulitis. I took antibiotics and nothing really changed. I have lost 15% of my weight since this started....38 pounds. No one cares. Not significant I guess.

I ate breakfast Friday and Saturday and today ... nothing else. I have less pain in the lower abdomen.

They don't think it is ulcers, although Carafate does allow me to keep food down, and they don't think it is cancer (I hope they are right).....and a couple of other names I can't remember, but none of them know. I am going in for some more lab work Monday morning.

Anyone else feel better when they don't eat???? Any ideas appreciated.

PS: They are putting me on another regimen of antibiotics next week, Sepra DS Tab 800/160 twice a day for 2 weeks. We did that for 10 days and it did not help the pain...finished that 10 day regimen about 10 days ago.
