appetite and digestion after completing antibiotics

I had diverticulitis episodes and also no appetite after antibiotics. I think because we eat very little and all the side effects from the meds.
Wheen taking all those antibiotics you must eat or take probiotics or put in yogurt between doses.
I would say to eat even when no appetite. (remember, your stomach shrinks back when not eating)
Try very small portions. Yogurt, Banna proteins are a must. eggs etc. Since not on proper diet, you need to really pay attention to your nutrition and fluid intakes. Also, make sure you can take vitamins since you are not getting them form not eating.

Thank you. My appetite is improving. Im taking vitamins and probiotics. Eating cottage cheese and yogurt also. I do believe my stomach shrank because when you're sick its hard to eat anything at all so you have to force yourself to eat just a bit of food. I eat eggs for breakfast or peanut butter toast with bananas. Im drinking more fluids as well. The dr noticed my labs had low sodium when i had bloodwork last completed so I'm not sure why or what that means. Those antibiotics sure make you feel awful. 🙁 Im starting to have more energy but don't want to overdo it. When do you increase your fiber? Im not constipated but dont want to go the other way lol. Thanks for the helpful tips:))
