Stats

I never remember seeing these stats, I know it can be nasty and it doesn't surprise me that the chances are high about getting it again. But managing it is what is all about. I know people that have Diverticuli that when they feel the Diverticulitis coming on they manage it and can cope with the diverticulitis and stop f from becoming to serious. I guess they still have had Diverticulitis again so end up in the statistics. But they manage the Diverticulitis and have no problems living a full and active lifestyle. They have avoided surgery and really are fine.

remember the statistics like it was yesterday. If a person gets diverticulitis once, they are 32% likely to get it again. After they’ve had it twice, they are 85% likely to get it again. More than twice, it’s almost a sure thing
