Kevzara and Prednisone Tapering before and during Kevzara

Kevzara is contraindicated in patients with diverticulitis. Has anyone with diverticulosis been started on Kevzara and what has been your experience? Is there any testing that can be done to monitor for intestinal perforation other than a colonoscopy or checking for blood in the stool.
