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?

Yes Thank You so much šŸ™‚ my primary care Dr. diagnosed and I have a GI appointment Oct. 14th. I have a plain water cracker with Augmenting, or at my ā€œmeal timeā€ / also am now able to eat a plain baked chicken filet and plain white bread, clear broth. Trying plain low-fat yogurt to promote the good bacteria / 1 Tbl. so far. I think I’ll wait a couple more days to progress food. I’ve had a trip to Rome planned since February, and still going to try to go. Just need to watch diet, and rest well. Cross my fingers!
