Diverticulitis Keeps Coming Back, Dealing with Drama, Am I Doubting God?, Books We are Reading

My diverticulitis attacks keep happening and I'm very anxious and have been dealing with lots of drama. I've been having conversations with God and questioning Him and myself. Is this doubt I'm experiencing or am I just asking why? I also show you the current books we are reading. And I have to ask if George is moving out? His closet is almost cleared out. What now? 2024 is not exactly going as planned. That is for sure.

Also FYI it is a well known medical fact that nuts and seeds do not cause diverticulitis, although many an old GI Dr will tell you they do!! If you have surgery and don’t fix the inflammation, you will have more surgery. I’m a post op nurse. I wish you the best!

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Yes there seems to be an ongoing controversy in the medical industry about this, leaving us scratching our heads.

[@Carnivorenursekim]

Have you tried a carnivore diet? It heals your gut. Very anti-inflammatory. I’ve done it for 9 months and no gut symptoms at all, cured my chronic candida, joint pains gone, depression and anxiety gone, and lots more. Off all meds.

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

I will most definitely check into it! Thank you for suggesting!

[@sandramoore8903]

I hope you are doing better. I am also a realist and like to control things. I can really relate to you. I hope your doctor is taking this very seriously. I have been mixing 2 Tbsp peanut butter powder with 1 1/2 Tbsp Nesquick to have energy. A great recipe is 2/3 cup flour with 2 Tbsp wheat germ, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 2 shakes of salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon mixed together. In a separate bowl mix 2 tsp EVOO, 1 egg, 1 cup Dannon's light and fit coconut vanilla Greek yogurt, 2 Tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla mixed together then added to the dry ingredients. Makes 6 muffins, in a sprayed EVOO muffin tin, baked at 400 degrees for abt 15 minutes. Take out of the tin immediately to cool. They taste like french toast. Good luck with your doctor.

Thank you for sharing this. My Aunt Alice suffered w diverticulitis. I always wanted to know what causes it, how can you tell when it's not something else? I try to collect medical info from first hand accounts so when I encounter someone else with that problem, issue, condition, etc., I can perhaps offer suggestions. So thank you for sharing the recipes. ❤

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Oh that’s so nice! Will have to try that! Thank you so much! I am doing better so far. Thanks for stopping by! ;-)

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

It’s been a little confusing. This year it was different than the other times. It seemed like to me I ate food that had bacteria in it. And it kept coming back as an infection. I have a wide range of things it could have been- from Taco Bell, to the pasta we had in the freezer, to the lettuce we had, to just being caused by nuts/seeds. So there is a wide list of things I’m avoiding and some things I’ve slowly let back in. It’s so hard to know what the culprit is. I’m trying to learn more about the gut. I’m trying to keep it as healthy and happy as I can!

[@sandydixon3618]

I appreciate YOU! Your openess honesty are very refreshing. Sometimes we think we are the only ones going thru struggles so when you share it helps others. Thank you.

Thank you Sandy.

Honey, do what you can do what you need to do for your life to be OK ….and let the rest go. You are not responsible for anyone else’s happiness. There’s three types of business ….. other people’s business……God’s business…… and your own business. Stay in your business….your mind….how you feel….. And give everyone else And their business to God. I know that when i’m running around, trying to be Jesus Jr and make everybody’s life right…….. Usually something will happen that makes me stop and look at the things that I am doing, and why I’m really doing them and who else could do them? And yes, diverticulitis wants you to NOT eat anything with seeds. Your diverticulitis will flare up if you eat these foods. If it makes you feel better I am on a totally carnivore diet due to digestive issues, so go enjoy your food without seeds😊

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Thank you for taking time to encourage me. I appreciate it so much. Guess what. My situation ended up being an enlarged “grumpy” appendix. The year long struggle of eating is now gone. I have later videos that talk about it, if you want to see. I think the appendix was pushing against and almost blocking my intestinal track, causing a diverticulitis type of situation. I laughed at “Jesus Jr”! I’d not heard that before. lol I know we have to be well ourselves before we can help another. I will retire at some point and will have more time in the schedule to do what I need to do! Ha e a good weekend!

[@Yetell]

Putting ourselves in His loving hands is the best thing we can do. God is good all the time.

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Yes!

How where you diagnosed with diverticulitis

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Doc guessing and me telling them it might be that.

Job got angry at God for letting him go through such an enormous amount of hardship, but through it all Job didn't lose focus. He continually prayed to God through his anger and stress and in the end, God praised Job for his faith. When we keep our focus on God the devil loses. Thank you for sharing your life's journey. I pray for healing and better days ahead.

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Thank you so much. JOB is a good example. At least I’ve not lost everything like he did. I am trying to be thankful for all the good people, things, warm bed, cozy house, sweet dogs. Then I’m much better.

[@sandrasmith5943]

I’m a pessimist and prepare for the worst! I can’t be like others and pretend everything’s fine in case it’s not. Hope you soon get better x

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

I know, me too. Thanks. I’m feeling better so far. I keep praying it doesn’t return and being picky about what I eat. Have a good week!

Brother had emergency surgery Christmas night and has come out of it very well, feels so much better despite needing a large portion of bowel removed and what was required after. Pain has gone. You will do well. We have twin king single beds now and it is wonderful, sleep is so much better. 😊

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

I’m glad all is well and appreciate your letting me know.

There are books by Susan Larson who talks about her health struggles. She has suffered much with Lyme disease and the effects of that through out her life. I have been encouraged with her faith and her trust in God. My own health issues have been discouraging but the bottom line as you say is trusting God. That’s what he tells me in prayer as well. I’m glad you are sharing so we can pray for you. He is our healer and our comfort.

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Thank you so much Jackie! I appreciate you. I hope you are doing well and we will encourage one another and pray 🙏 for one another!

Morning Sonya, I agree I rather be prepared for what could happen and not be let down in the end unprepared emotionally. I am the same way.. my husband says I’m pessimistic 😅🤷🏽‍♀️ I call it being real with myself. BUT, I will say this.. just because we see the bad things often doesn’t mean we focus on it. Or atleast don’t try to ha. 2024 has not been well for me too. I could be (it’s a high chance) dealing with fibromyalgia. I hope better days come for the best of us. One of the reasons I follow you is because you keep it REAL. It’s genuine. Sending hugs your way! Xx

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Good luck with your health struggles. I’m glad you are here. We can support each other through. Thanks for reaching out today.

I made a comment on here yesterday but it disappeared or someone removed it . Your channel will not grow if someone removes comments. I’m a little upset that this is happening . Why bother to comment then . I’m sorry .

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

It wasn’t me, lol. I love comments! I’m the only one that can do it unless You Tube did it. I want people here. What did it say?

[@dorisdonnelly9669]

@@lesshustlemorecoffee It was related to your diverticulitis. I also have been dealing with diverticulitis for several years . I understand how you feel about having surgery . I have been told many times to have surgery also . I am 70 and really don’t want it for the same reasons you don’t . So you said you have had it 4 times since October. I think that it is what they call smoldering which means you had a flare that really never completely healed . The only way that you will know what’s really going on is to have a cat scan . Since you have a fever it’s an infection and you need to make sure you don’t have an abscess . I never get a fever but did have a micro perf which required IV antibiotics because the pills don’t work. Also before you have a colonoscopy make sure you are totally healed because you don’t need any more damage . The only way to know that is a scan . When ever I’ve had a scan and I’ve had 8 I have always gone to the ER and only paid $90 ER copay . I pray that you find out what’s really happening and get this under control. Also there are Diverticulitis groups on FB that you can join and compare what other people do about it . I belong to a few .

Hang in there! Hope you are feeling better!

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

Yes thank you! So far so good. Antibiotics have held and changed the way I’m eating.

[@gloriacarr2525]

Sonya I hope your feeling better & I pray you won't have to have that surgery my son has diverticulitis so.ik your pain I hate to hear you going through this I will keep you in my prayers ❤

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

I am better. Antibiotics worked and I’m not eating nuts, seeds, lettuce, and reduced red meat. We eat greens at every meal and much less bread. I’m able to tolerate pasta. Drinking 100 % fruit juices instead of fruit. Trying to avoid hard things like chips, avoiding corn too, and any hard skins. So hope this can help your son too. I think we all have different triggers. I’m not convinced I didn’t have a bacteria of some kind- but it’s all so confusing. Diverticulitis turns into an infection too. But I appreciate your comment and for watching and for your support. It means so much. You feel so lonely and scared going thru an episode.

[@lesshustlemorecoffee]

When I say we eat greens - I can eat sautéed spinach, spinach suffle, green beans, etc- but scared of lettuce esp the heavy dark ones that remain leafy. Cooked is good. Telling you this for your son or others going thru this that may be reading.
