How Can Diverticulitis Be Treated?

I recently went to the emergency room. I had gone to the bathroom and passed a good amount of blood with no stool. I was told I have diverticulitis and sent home. I was prescribed no meds or given any informatiion about diet or what I should take. Is there anything I can take over the counter until I can see a gastro doctor?
