Acute Diverticulitis - ongoing
Posted , 7 users are following.
I was admitted to hospital for 5 days. CT scan showed acute Diverticulitis. Two different Iv antibiotics and oral antibiotics upon discharge. A week later, temperature and felt very unwell, doctor examined me - more antibiotics as he felt the infection had not gone. A few days after stopping antibiotics - again temperature, pain etc - doc again examined me and gave me more antibiotics! He said he felt that on top of diverticulitis, I may have colitis! Awaiting colonoscopy. I cannot believe how fatigued I feel on top of all the unpleasant symptoms. Has anyone else had acute diverticulitis with the need for ongoing antibiotics? Any advice will be great too! My DV is pretty widespread and also includes transverse colon.

The aloe vera juice is great for the intestines like angela said. You will definitely need to take the probiotics everyday due to taking the antibiotics. A liquid diet and lots of water with some rest will get your energy back up. This conditions is a headache and I know how you feel but once you realize what to not do and what works you will be good. I haven't had any flare ups in over two years. You can also look into natural herbs.
