To get antibiotics

Posting for traffic. In feb had a severe diverticulitis attack (first one age 39) was hospitalised on iv anti biotics and then 2 x 10 day doses at home. Has taken me until around a month ago to completely recover mentally and physically.

Feel like I am starting another attack. However I would prefer not to go back on antibiotics if possible as have been taking lots of pre/probiotics to increase natural gut flora. Am going on to a liquid diet for a few days.

Does anyone on here have experience with diverticulitis. If so have you managed to avoid a full flare up through diet alone or have you always needed antibiotics?. Will get them if necessary but would rather avoid.

If you needed IV antibiotics the first time and you are in fact about to have a second occurrence you may need surgery. Get back to your doctor for another evaluation if your symptoms recur that can't be managed with diet.
