Hi Kathy, I have to say that my experience was the more attacks I had over the 7 years before I had surgery the less it would clear up properly. In the end I went for 4 or 5 months without ever completely healing... in the end I had to have the surgery and "cut it out" instead! I would definitely do liquids and eat very lightly to see if it helps. Hope you feel better, Joy

Can someone please help.....I am 51 yrs old. I had my first attack of diverticulitis about a month ago. I was put on two different antibiotics for 10 days. I finished the meds about 3 weeks ago and my system still hasn't gone back to normal. Is this normal? I go in for a colonoscopy in 3 weeks and I am very nervous

I hear that just because you finish the antibotics doesn't mean that all the inflammation is healed up. My gastro guy told me it would take a while. I am new to this, so I am learning from the posts on this forum day by day!
