Hi John. I'm going through a diverticulitis attack right now and am on antibiotics for 10 days.
Symptoms:

1. Pain on lower left side of abdomen
2. Bloated stomach for a week+
3. Intermittent severe stomach cramping coming in waves. Alleviated by BMs
4. Colonoscopy found some diverticuli(Sp?) that were not right.


So I'm on the antibiotics, drinking lots of water, taking lots of fibre capsules (Metamusil) and eating really, really slowly.

Timo
