Suggest Treatment For Diverticulitus

Life style modifications needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
After studying your history, I have few advises for you:
1. Diverticulitis is a condition which is related to diet.
Diet poor in fiber and rich in refined carbohydrates are risk factors for diverticulitis.
Thus, you need to be watchful in your diet. Avoid fast foods rich in refined carbohydrates and increase the consumption of fiber rich foods. whole grains and plenty of fluids.
The dietary plan should be such that the breakfast is heaviest and lunch lighter and dinner the lightest. Dinner should not be very late in the evening. In between you can take fruits and fluids (fruit juice and soups)
This dietary change will provide relief from recurrent attacks of diverticulitis and its complications.
Aggravation or development of complications may necessitate surgery.
2. Alcohol consumption is the most common cause of fatty liver. Fatty liver is picked up on ultrasonography, thus, I suggest you to get an ultrasound of abdomen.
Fatty liver is a reversible condition, however, it can turn irreversible if alcohol consumption is not stopped.
Elevated levels of AST/ALT are probably due to fatty change in liver.
If you have more queries, I will be glad to answer.

Consultation for fatty liver is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome again,
Whether you require a colonoscopy or not will only be decided by your gastroenterologist after clinical assessment.
In case fatty liver is detected on the ultrasound, a complete abstinence from alcohol will be required.
Levels of AST and ALT can be raised in other conditions like infection, or inflammation of liver, drug intake, toxins etc.
You need to consult your primary healthcare providers for further work out.
Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja P Wahal
