Hi and thank you for asking on HCM!

You are reporting to have problems with stomach and bowels.
I read your medical history and you have had diverticulitis.
I would like to know if you have diarrhea recently?
If yes, than I can say that your symptoms may be related with diverticulitis.
You have started antibiotics like levofloxacine and this is a good choice.
I would recommend to use and metronidazole too.
In such cases liquid diet is recommended till symptoms will be improved.
Hope it was helpful to you!
