Please help! Diagnosed with diverticulitis

[sahmmie]

I'm cross posting this in health and healing.

I'm very distressed. I just found out I have diverticulosis and diverticulitis. I know this is probably the result of a lifelong poor diet so of course I blame myself which only makes matters worse. Now I just need to know what to do. I'm on antibiotics and then I'm supposed to have a colonoscopy next month. From what I've read this is a life long condition that needs to be managed but I'm not sure how. I'm afraid to eat anything.

Any advice? Dietary or otherwise.

Any resources that may help me? (There's so much conflicting info on the web).

Thanks.

I have been on the GAPS diet since April to heal my gut problems (and it is working!). www.gaps.me
There is a support tribe around here somewhere too.

Thanks. How do I find the support tribe?

I'll look into the gaps diet.
