Hello, dear readers!
Welcome to another edition of Resilient Roads: Tales of Health and Healing, a space where we explore stories, tips, and practices for living well with diverticulitis.
One of the most common questions I get is: “Is this a diverticulitis flare-up or just IBS?”
And my answer? It depends. But here’s the real deal—these conditions are more connected than you think. IBS symptoms like bloating, gas, and constipation can lead you straight into a flare-up if you don’t address the root cause.
I just wrote a deep dive on this in my latest blog post, breaking down:
✅ How to tell the difference between IBS & a diverticulitis flare-up
✅ Why IBS symptoms could be keeping you stuck
✅ The gut-healing steps that helped me break free from this cycle

But Robin, I Have IBS, I Can’t Eat That!
I hear this all the time. And I’m calling it hogwash.
Maybe you can’t eat certain foods right now, but that doesn’t mean you’ll never be able to. The key is healing your gut so you CAN digest food again. That takes strategy—not just avoiding foods forever.
Instead of focusing on what you "can't" eat, focus on:
🥗 Rebuilding your gut with the 4 Stages of Eating
🧘♀️ Reducing stress so your body can actually digest
📖 Tracking your symptoms in a Food Journal to find patterns
💪 Getting out of survival mode and into healing mode
You don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle—I didn’t. And I can help you break free too.
