[quote:Wondering Mind:MV8zODAxNjY1XzY4MjM5MDc0X0FBRTJCOEU0] My son takes probiotics every day and stool softener with it. He has a terrible time with his problem, he sheds bowl lining and bleeds like crazy, he will not be able to go the bathroom and his right lower quadrant and down towards the groin is like a pain scale of 8. His gallbladder normally is swollen when he gets that bad. He does not really have diverticulitis my husband does and he has problem with polyps as well, he had to have surgery to remove them once. Keeping him on 1 a day of each stool softener and probiotic helps to keep that at bay. It will not help when he gets out of hand, I was gone helping a family member that sick and staying with them when he got in bad the shape the last time. He is bad about not taking them and you have to keep reminding him. He will even piss bile and get real sick, doing that with no insurance when it happened last time. I have thought about switching to the prebiotics with him, I just did not want to mess with what we got going since it works. There are a lot of things he cannot eat or drink or it will mess him up bad, his dad will get it for him if I am not there to stop him and it will mess him up. [/quote]

My wife has flare-ups of diverticulitis that cause intense pain, fever, etc.
She's been looking at prebiotics which are supposed to aid in maintaining the gut, reducing the tendency toward inflammation, etc.
Anyone had any success using these? Or any other supplements, treatment, etc. to help reduce the severity of these flares? Thanks in advance, I appreciate your sharing experiences and idea that have worked for you.
