Since becoming plant based last September I have gone off of a statin drug. My internist told me my blood results last week were phenomenal (cholesterol panel). However, recently I have been having upper left quadrant pain that I think is from a duodenal diverticulum. Surprised to get this type of a problem considering how much fiber I consume on a daily basis. I have not pursued any testing yet to determine if it is diverticulitis or a duodenal ulcer. Any thoughts on how to alter my diet to calm down this area?
