Suggest Treatment For Diverticulitis With Constipation

I have been diagnosed with diverticulitis with constipation. My prolapse which has not been low enough to bother me for 20 years is now protruding. The pain is far worse than labour pains. I also have a large gall stone which I am told is not causing my pain. Will I get better with antibiotics and cosmocol?
