had another attack last week-I get flare ups often ( but no antibiotics-just self manage with heat and antispasmotics)--but had to take meds this week ECH!-doctors differ in how long, and how much!! I also get other side effects like yeast and body aches from the meds!
So meds Cipro and Flagel for 7 days? 5 days? 10days?
(no Augmentin--gave me C-Diff last time)
What do you do?

@mtpeony - I moved your post here so that you could talk to many others already talking about diverticulitis treatments, like @ashum1 @jlharsh @alh4 @donna2023 and others.
I'm sorry to hear you had another attack last week and are getting differing input from doctors on how long to take medications and how much to take. How confusing. Having to deal with side effects like body aches also is unpleasant.
When you mention that doctors differ in their prescriptions for meds for a diverticulitis flare up, mtpeony, do you mean a difference between your primary care doctor and your gastrointestinal specialist? Or your previous and current gastrointestinal specialists?
