Suggest Methods To Control Diverticulitis
a specialist told my father who suffers from Divurticulitis that there is nothing to control it and if his hemoglobin levels drop he needs to just keep getting transfusions...is this correct? I know there is no 'treatment' for divurticulitis but is there not a way to control it?
