I am on day 3 of Augmentin for diverticulitis, pain is mostly gone but still have inflammation. I can feel it next to my left hip and pelvic area. How long does it take for the inflammation to subside?

wkwiggins - I am still dealing with some inflammation in the same location as you. What I feel makes it better is eating easy foods to digest for a few weeks, then slowly add additional foods to your diet. Be sure to stay away from high fiber items right now. That will come in time. Walking a lot helps too. It gets the gasses inside your colon to move and eventually come out, rather than just build up and cause discomfort. I hope this helps.
I would also recommend getting on a probiotic as well as Benefiber and Miralax. All three of these will help your gut feel better, but the good bacteria your body needs to heal back in your gut as well as keep you from getting constipated. Being constipated is not fun at all, it actually causes more discomfort and hurts.
You can develop Hemorrhoids too. Good luck, be strong and don't give up.

You guys saying you’ve never been pain-free from diverticulitis? You weren’t able to have the acute
Episode treated completely and been pain-free?
