Hello welcome to the health care magic
For diverticulitis you have been prescribed broad spectrum antibiotic course.
So complete the antibiotic course.
In such condition fiber diet should be included more in diet
Take lots of water
Avoid excess spicy foods and oily foods
If repeated diarrhea than do stool routine micro examination and stool culture
Hope this will help you
