Hi everyone,
I am writing this on behalf of a family member who suffers from diverticulosis. Today he says he's in a lot
of pain. He describes it as a dull pain. I would definitely describe this as an attack. A few minutes ago, he
was doubled over in past. Often these attacks are gas pains. This time he says he doesn't know what's
going on. He's a male in his mid sixties and has weight issues. I'm really at a loss what to do for him to
make him feel better. I'm bringing him water, that's it. He hasn't had any lunch, but we went out for
breakfast. He had boiled eggs, brown toast (2 slices) home fries and one slice of tomato. I'd like to help
him, but I don't know what to do for him, what to give him etc. I would really appreciate some advice
or suggestions for any Medhelp member who has this condition or the advice of a doctor on the site.
Thank you in advance. Eve :)
