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:))

Glad to hear you are starting to feel better.
Antibiotics are a must for diverticulitis/inflation. But, strips all the good bacteria too. I used to hate that from my past episodes. Felt like staring over every time!
I would not add too much fiber back in your diet until you see you GI Dr. Have you had a colonoscopy?
Try having an avocado has an experiment.
How was your inflammation level in blood work? That is a great marker to go by.

Where did they see this on scan? "Went to my Dr on Presidents day and CT scan showed inflammation/infection"
