Hi thanks for query,
For acute phase of your diverticulitis antibiotic therapy is required but once the acute phase settles down. Severe and drastic life style modificatory changes have to be followed by you for many months to avoid recurrent attacks.
Medicines can help you but can't cure you. So go through each line carefully-Not exercising enough, not drinking enough water and delaying a bowel movement can worsen your symptoms. The most important factor in curing you is strict adherence to natural and simple diet. This should consist of unrefined food such as whole grain cereals, XXXXXXX honey and lentils; green leafy vegetables, like spinach, beans, lettuce, celery, asparagus, carrot.
Secondly human gastrointestinal tract is colonized by 1013-14 bacteria of 400 different species and subspecies. They are responsible for proper digestion of food. Depletion of this flora due to repeat antibiotic therapy and infection has lead to severe digestive problems in your case.
Intestinal flora are types of microorganisms known as probiotics that live normally as part of the intestinal tract. These organisms have several functions that help the body. The most plentiful and important bacteria in the small intestine is the Lactobacillus species. Lactobacillus helps ferment indigestible carbohydrates. It also helps to stimulate the digestive process and aid the absorption of nutrients,as well as increase the motility of the gastro intestinal tract. I would suggest you to keep taking a good probiotics like Econorm thrice daily for few months .Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for digestion. As your gut flora will improve her constipation would be relieved and well formed and digested stools will pass.
Please message me,
Your diet plan?(food habits).
Do you like junk foods?
Any history of hard or tight stools?
A feeling of incomplete evacuation?
Your smoking and alcohol habits?
How much water do you drink in a day?
Thank you.

Hi there
1)1 litre water daily is too low.Infact you should urinate 2.5 litres per day and drink minimum of 3 to 4 litres a day.
2)Walk at a speed not less then 5.1 km/hr for 20 minutes. Number doesnot matter quality matters.(Right now do rest once you are better start doing this).
3)Who told you to stop yoghurt and why? Are you allergic to dairy.
Better have a glass of lemonade then apple cider vinegar.
4)No samosa and fried food till you are fine once ok can take it in moderation.
What antibiotics you are on?
Chapati is not a fried food?
Are you taking probiotics?
Your diet please?
