Gastric Diverticula. Rare, but would like to hear from others with the same diagnosis.

Goodness me! Am I the only one in the country?!

I don't have that particular problem Bluebellgran but wanted you to know that at least someone has read your post. Sorry to hear about your having suffered so long. At least now you know what's going on inside you!

I have diverticulosis but in the lower intestines. Diagnosed by ct scan after my cancer diagnosis.

So sorry Bluebellgran. No I don't have the same problem as you but I do have stomach problems and been tested for just about everything so I am just careful what I eat now. Also take omeprazole, 40 mg a day but I still have breakthrough but not much more can be done because I have a damaged bile duct. I tend to take each day as it comes. Good luck.

I have diverticulitis but higher up in the Oesophagus
The consultant told me that most people over 50 have diverticulosis to some degree
I don’t take anything for it the barium meal showed it up I was told to lose weight (I m not overweight) and take gaviscon if and when needed

Barmeyoldbat, have you had your gall bladder removed? I have but I still get stones in my bile duct occasionally, which caused sepsis a couple of years ago. After some time in hospital on morphine and intravenous antibiotics I recovered. I assumed that with no gallbladder the gallstone problem would end, but of course the bile duct remains.

Bluebellgran yes my gall bladder has been removed and I have had various scans to see if there are any residual stones remaining in the tube. Unfortunately I have a leaking bile duct due to antibodies in my system refusing to believe I should have one and fighting it.!! So nothing can be done.
