I do much the same thing, @suez. I go to a liquid diet for the first day and then add in the soft foods like scrambled eggs, applesauce, etc. and get a lot of bed rest. Drinking lots of liquids is also important. The pain will usually pass in a few days, if I am diligent about starting the liquid diet as soon as I recognize the symptoms. I have heard that oregano capsules are good, I'm not sure of the science behind it, but I add those as well, I figure it can't hurt and might help. Flagyl tends to make me quite sick but I'm glad that it helps you.
