Hello everyone,
I just got out of the hospital after 4 days of antibiotics for my first diverticulitis attack and I got sent home on 10 more days flagyl and bactrim. I was wondering how long before My stomach will be back to normal? I’ve just been real gasey? I wasn’t sure If the bloatiness and gas was from the flagyl and bactrim? Thanks in advance!

Time to find another doc! There are many ways to control it, and to deal with it if you do have another attack. I have had 3 in about 10 years. My doc said nothing to worry about unless they become much more frequent or severe. And to add a quick note about the fiber supplement. My doc also recommended metamucil, but I couldn't do that b/c of the side effects - too much bloating and gas. I found the capsules Fiber Con and they work very well for me. Just have to be sure and drink plenty of water.
