Do' Suggested-in given situation-

In view of the accompanying diverticulosis- I would suggest to treat accompanying IBS with C from Spastic colitis, which needs immediate treatment with antibiotics.
Adjust high BP medicines with Physician-to avoid drug induced constipation
Reduced anti-hypertensive dosage from alpha blockers with suggestions from your Specialist Physician,

Be on Bland liquid,low volume veg diet and increase it gradually.
Avoid spicy,fried, non-veg diet

Be on -Yoghurt /Cap Sporalc-probiotics- x 2 times a day,to stabilize colonic commensal microbials.
Tab Dicyclomine-SOS to control acute pains
Continue with antibiotics anti-protozoal x 2 weeks time
Add PPI -Omprazole with Domperidone- to prevent accompanied acid reflux
Add Vit B12 and Folic acid

Gradually add low volumes of solids over next 10-15 days time.

Plenty of fluids and care of the Spastic Colon causing IBS with Colitis from accompanied diverticulum-is the main basis of moving gases with pain in your case.
