I went to dr because I have been having lower left abdominal pain pretty bad. diagnosed with diverticulitis. he gave me 1500, yes, 1500 of flagyl and augmentin for 10 days.
my gosh, I am sicker than I was before. severe nausea, leg cramps, eye twitching, neck pain. Literally hurt all over. oh yeah, diarrhea. the abdominal pain is much worse.
one positive thing is, am off ativan, aspirin, and elavil. took me several months.
I joined weight watchers and so far have lost ten pounds. it's a start. 100 to go. am walking mile and quarter 4-6 days a week. can now do it without dying!! lol...
I don't know if diverticulitis is getting worse or this is major herx. what do you think?
I am taking 40 billion probiotics.

Are you eating anything with small seeds? My last colonoscopy clean the last thing that the colon released was flax seeds. Tons of them.
I had been having pain in the lower GI. The bread that I had been eating for months had flax seeds.
Whole seeds, not ground. While flax seeds are good for you, little seeds can get caught up in the pockets.
And the test revealed diver in my colon. I quit the whole flax seed bread and have had no pain since.

he's going to have a bag for about 1-2 months and home care. we will be using separate bedrooms.
things are so crazy right now. if it ain't one thing it's another.
