One evening, about 2 weeks ago, I had a slight low back ache, then at 3am I woke up to entire abdominal cramping pain. It blossomed into a rate of 10/10. I went to ER, had a cat scan, was told probable gastroenteritis. No fever, diarrhea, constipation, or nausea. One week later the pain returned 5/10. Had a Cat scan of abdomen & pelvis, with oral barium, IV contrast, & without Infusion. Pain remained on/off, mostly left lower.
Thanks,
ashum1

Hi @ashum1. You are having a rough time, I am sorry!

I do not have diverticulitis. Actually, diverticulosis was found on my first colonoscopy 8 or 9 years ago and I think it acts up some. Nothing like what you have going on. It sounds like you are cutting back to only liquids to hopefully come out of a flare.

I think I would eat a saltine cracker just before taking Augmentin. Maybe others that have taken Augmentin specifically will comment more ideas for you.

Are you working with a doctor? What is next?
