I've been feeling a bit uneasy ever since this incident a few months back when I was eating crunchy peanut butter and it got stuck in my food pipe. I experienced chest pain for about a week after that. Though it's been three months now, I'm still feeling kind of uneasy. I sometimes notice a vibration on the lower left side of my chest and have been dealing with this back pain for a couple of weeks. Is this something I should be worried about, or could it be related to acidity? Would really appreciate any advice you might have.

View allI've been told I have diverticulitis, and I've noticed it hurts more when I'm sitting compared to lying down. Is there something about sitting that puts extra pressure on my colon?
It is most likely that when you sit the position causes a touch or increased pressure over the diverticulitis which may cause the pain. These steps may help in the ailment: - Rest well - A liquid diet may be of help during this time period as it may be easier to digest a liquid diet, you can slowly increase to solid food depending on how you tolerate it. - Drink adequate amount of water, aim to rink 2.5 - 3 lietrs of water per day - Prunes or prune juice may serve as natural laxatives, which would help in easier bowel movements - Have a low-fat diet since fat slows down the passage of food through the intestine. - Eat low-bulk foods such as broths and low-fiber breads - Cooked vegetables, cooked fruits, and apples would help with an inflamed intestine - Avoid milk and milk products (yogurts and cheeses),nuts, corn, popcorn, and seeds which could worsen your illness

Is it OK to remove stool with finger?
Manual evacuation of stool with finger may be done sometimes but it can cause trauma and anal bleeding if more force is used. It is always better to visit a nearest doctor who can safely help in removing stools.

I'm curious about something that keeps coming up in my ultrasound scans. They always mention that the pancreas is obscured by bowel gas. Is it normal to have gas around the pancreas, or should I be concerned about this? Can gas be around other organs too? I'm just trying to understand if there's anything I should be worried about.
The phrase "pancreas obscured by bowel gas" refers to the fact that the pancreas is not clearly visible on an ultrasound because gas in the bowel is blocking the view. This is a common occurrence and not necessarily abnormal
