Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain When Diagnosed With Diverticulitis
HI! I went to an emergency care yesterday because I started having symptoms of diverticulitis. I was disgnosed through CT years ago, and had diverticulitis once before. This time I had no fever but moderate abdominal pain and tenderness on the left side. I was prescribed Cipro, twice a day, and Flagyl three times, and am feeling better after less then 24 hours. My question is if I could use something against the bloating, it seems be worse because of the meds. Thank you in advance Heidi

Hello,
The bloating is probably related to the use of antibiotics.
I suggest using simethicone medication.
I also suggest using daily probiotics.
I recommend to drink liquids and eat a fiber-rich diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
