Hello, than you for taking the time to read this and answer. I have had Diverticulitis in the past and thought last week I got it again. Had dull pain on lower right side of stomach that moved up and over to the left. So has to be my large intestine right? I was put on two antibiotics 6 days ago and it seems to have helped a bit but when I eat sometimes I get bloated and most of the time I get light headed. I also sometimes get nauseous. I am trying to eat easy to digest foods and drinking only water. But I figure after 6 days on the anitbiotics that most of the symptoms would have gone away by now. I am able to go to the bathroom as usual, no changes, not actually vomiting though sometimes I feel like I might. I do get an appetite after not eating for a few hours but again I am tying to eat easy to digest, low fat, low sugar, meals.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Yes, the pain is most probably due to diverticulitis and the antibiotics are not helping you much. This leads to a need for an alternative antibiotic, means change over to another. Have CT scan and colonoscopy to confirm. Take PPI, soft bland diet, plenty of oral fluids, may be with ORS.
