hi in the middle of flare up I am 63 had this now for about 10years,
usually I eat any thing I want too, so not sure what triggered this flare up.
i read taking ibuprofen could be a cause which I have been taking for hip and back pain. What I would like to know is what other members do when taken antibiotics on a liquid diet it says take antibioticswith food or when you have just eating? I was on Co-amoxiclav 3times a day but could only take them for 2 days as they gave me very bad diarrhoea. I am now on metronidazole 400mg and it is breakfast time I am still on liquid diet but it says take these antibiotics with food, any suggestions on what others do will be helpful.
I was on antibiotics over Christmas and I had a bowl of chicken soup with a slice of bread before taking my tablet and it worked for me. I am glad you can eat anything I wish I could I can't eat beef chocolate or anything fried. I even find it hard to eat fruit
Hi thank you for your reply, I find the morning the worst not knowing how to take the antibiotic, I decided to take it with jelly this morning and that was fine.
im 4 days in with diverticulitis the pain is starting to subside, feeling a lot better than the beginning of the week, might start the low fibre foods tomorrow. Been on the liquid diet for 4 days now so feel ready to try foods again.
when I'm well I have 30g of porridge made with water with a banana and teaspoon of honey on top for breakfast then either poached egg with toast for lunch or soup, for dinner fish with vegetables. Jelly is becoming my best friend
