Hello,
Peter here, I'm new here BUT I been suffering with diverticulitis for 10-15 years. my mom had it. i never knew it was so painful. I find that when i drink alcohol esp. vodka i start to get a tightening in my lower abdomen and urination becomes painful. I'm 77 very active guy and over the years CIPRO was prescribed and worked.
i also get into trouble if eat too much sauce- being Italian- i make it every Sunday and overeat of course which is dumb but i love it!

WATER- YES !! the more the better. I am currently on day 5 of 7 w/new Rx called Levofloxacin plus Amoxicillin. This event was really really bad. i thought emergency but my doctor was able to see the next morning , but it really scared me.

I am advocating no more nightly vino with dinner, i think an occasional social drink or 2. is the way to go. Drink water all you thirsty ones and live better now!

Let's go Mets & Let's go Water from here on.
We are getting older and have to start taking care. Life is still Beautiful!!!
