I am convinced that getting a Colonoscopy is a cause of Diverticulosis. Seen many cases.

Seen many cases of what

[@raknoknak]

@@drbrianmd People have normal colonoscopies and in a few months just get diverticulosis out of the blue. Add to the fact that the medical community admits "We dont know what exactly causes dvt" I think we can assume colonoscopies are one of the causes.

[@drbrianmd]

There is No evidence that colonoscopy causes diverticulosis. None .

@@drbrianmd I have been going through the experiences of a lot of people on reddit and soon after a normal colonoscopy, symptoms of bleeding start. Here are a few examples of internal hemorrhoids after colonoscopy. Most of these dont go back to the Dr or noone draws the link. Or all of these are totally made up. /r/hemorrhoid/comments/19d5dmk/internal_hemmorhoid/ /r/hemorrhoid/comments/1942riq/hemmorhoid/ r/hemorrhoid/comments/195pqlv/internal_hemmorhoids/

I’ve been diagnosed with Diverticulosis 7-8 years ago. I’ve heard that people with Diverticulosis cannot eat seeds and nuts. It’s that true?

[@drbrianmd]

The medical evidence does not support avoiding seeds and nuts .
