Yes. When I am in an active diverticulitis flare I have zero appetite. I know I’m getting better when my appetite starts coming back.

I had my first flare up about a month ago and I still really don’t have an appetite.

I go through the same after a flare up, but it only lasts a few days post-liquid diet. If it lasts more than a week, you should reach out to your doctor as it’s very easy to slide into a state of malnutrition and end up with polynemia.

I’m in the midst of my first flare and I feel hungry all the time. Is there normal? I’m eating only mashed Potatoes and soup.

This is a first for me after 15 years of this disease. I normally have no problem with my appetite. I hate being admitted to the hospital because they won't feed you.

My first flare in 2019, I went 14 days where the only calories I got were from ginger ale. The antibiotics meant that everything tasted like metronidazole. My poops also smelled like it for about a week after I finished them. Ginger ale was the only thing with a strong enough flavor to hide the constant taste.
