Most general practitioners are not residency trained or board certified. I've never had allergies as bad as this before. Over the counter allergy medicine doesn't seem to be helping much. The good news is that your doctor should be able to offer you significant relief. These prescription medications can be very helpful.
Diverticulosis is a disorder in which pouches form in the colon.
These pouches can be caused by chronic constipation, which increases the pressure in the colon and can cause the out pouching. This infection of a diverticular pouch is called diverticulitis. One evening I even fell and didn't realize what happened until my husband said something to me. Indeed you have reason to be concerned. I think it is very important to find out the cause of these episodes.
