Hey
@Garooba
So, I've had lower GI issues since in my early twenties.
In '95 I had to go to ER for acute diverticulitis attack. I guess I was diagnosed with TypeII about 20013/14?
I started seriously counting carbs about six years ago, when counting calories didn't work, along with jogging routines and haven't had any real issues with this diverticular disease. Everything is high fibre if I'm eating carbs and of course eating way fewer carbs. I'm 68 now. Processed carbs are out of my eating habits except for a treat of a small pizza or small sub. If I have pasta, which is very rare, I cook only 95gr dry wt, but can't eat it all, actually.
Good luck with it. Keep the stress levels down, (I live with PTSD and anxiety disorder, I was abducted by a pedophile when I was 12, but got away so... ) try and low carb. ~130gr of carbs/day, I aim for 120gr/day. I've lost fifty pounds. (FYI, I like Dr. Becky Gillaspy over on YT... her vblogs have been a big help.)
