Suggest Treatment For Diverticulitis
I was recently diagnosed with diverticulitis after being diagnosed for two weeks with UTI. CT showed the diverticulitis. I have had IBS for years. I have been so sick now for weeks after three rounds of antibiotics. I am still weak but continue to have pain. The pain has switched to the right side today. What can I do to help myself and feel better. I am trying to work (teacher) and it has been very difficult. Do you think metamucil will help?
