new to problem

I am 38 and was just told by a Doctor that I probably have Diverticularis. Because of really bad insurance I am trying to put of getting more test for a month . Sombody answered forum yesterday and said I should add fiber slowly to my diet to late I am doing 25 grams a day.I am very scared of having another attack and having to go back to the same hospital . Just to let you know how bad my vist was they kept calling me wrong name and when I said to head nurse my name she said "no you are not her " the hosptal was very dirty and I was only one without hancuffs and Police escort. I saw 2 Doctors and older one said what he thought it was and I have all the problems. All so I never eat enough Fiber or drink water . I figure I was doing Maybe 4 g of fiber a day . I never eat Wheat bread and some nights ate popcorn and cake for dinner. I have 3 kids and a spouse who all eat better than me .Do I need to get test done? If I change my bad habits will that help? I was giving a blood test to check for infection.Then I called my doctor and can't get a appt. for a month I asked nurse what I should do and she sd eat more fiber and if I am in bad pain go to E.r..Thank god I found this web site. I have learned so much thank you all! Michelle
