What Is The Treatment For Diverticulosis?
I have diverticulosis, and have been hosp. 2x since Oct. In between I have severe intestinal inflammation. When I get this, accompianed by diarrhea, I get so overheated, sweat profusely and feel like I am going to pass out/die. What causes this extreme overheating? I am due for a colonoscopy tomorrow.

Hi.
The treatment of choice in your case would be to have excision of the segment of the intestine.
This is needed as the infection is causing you severe symptoms as well as signs of septicemia which can be life threatening sometimes.
Consult a Surgical Gastroenterologist and get an appointment for consultation and surgery if advised.
