Hello @laughterhelps
It sounds like you are having a troublesome time with diverticulitis. A liquid diet is a good idea and getting in touch with your doctor on Monday morning would be a reasonable thing to do. I see that your symptoms returned five days after stopping the antibiotics. How long were you taking the antibiotics?
A soft diet is really important after a flare-up. Greek yogurt is a good food to help with any gut problems. How are you feeling today?

Hi, @hopeful33250. Thanks for your kind words. To answer your question, I had 10 days of 2 different antibiotics at the same time - Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride and Metronidazole. My body is pretty resistant to antibiotics and since last time it was hard to get the infection down my doctor has been having me hit it hard to begin with. She also put me on Enterol probiotic during the course of antibiotics, then Bio-Kult probiotic for a while after I finish the antibiotics. She doesn't want it to get as serious as it did before.
Thankfully I'm gradually getting better now, just continue to eat carefully and rest a lot.
Have a great day!
