Sticky Bowel Movements, Loose Stools, Hida Scan, Ultrasound, Colonoscopy Detected Diverticulitis. Treatment ?
Question: I have had sticky and loose bowel movements for 13 years and it is getting worse. What could it be? They have checked by gallbladder with a hida scan and ultrasound and I had a colonoscopy 4 years ago with signs of diverticulits and small signs of other stuff but they said nothing to worry about.
