I have just had another flare; this is the 4th since Dec 2016. I was on antibiotics
for 5 days and a low fiber diet and I still am on the diet, but I am still have some tenderness in lower left side not severe but uncomfortable. I seem to relict that this happens because of healing. Can anyone tell me if this mild pain is just the healing process.
Many Thanks

I get horrible bloating and pain. I am now taking a stool softener. It's hard to know when to eat and what to eat.

I just got sick after eating canned chicken noodle soup. My stomach just couldn't handle it.

Hi Christine. I had DD 8 weeks ago. Hospital 7 days , very sick.its taking me a long time to recover, I'm interested to read that the pain can go on for months, as I am still having bad cramps just before ok go to toilet in morning, and vague cramps, not bad during the day,. I wasn't sure if this was normal after such a long time, and just not feeling 100%. I have read some people recover quite quickly. I haven't read much of people who take longer.

Yes indeed this is the healing period (as Christine says) can go on for weeks/months. The soreness is exacerbated by antibiotics which have probably wiped out all the good bacteria. So as soon as I'm on anything like normal food I reintroduce pre and probiotics. I wish you well - regards Pete

Hi Tom
Yes. Probiotics are the "good' bacteria that live in the gut. These get wiped out by antibiotics. You can get these in tablet form or as yoghurt supplements (like Yakult or Actimel for example). Prebiotics are the foods like garlic onions and leeks et al which nurture probiotic bacteria and provide the best conditions for the probiotics to survive and thrive. There's lots of info if you Google either and see much more than I have mentioned. Regards Pete
