I have been told I have diverticulitis I been having pain in upper right ide and lower left the pain is so bad I am also having this rotten egg burps that I want go away its so embarrassing the smell can be smell from feet away what is this and does it has anything to do with the diverticulitis
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history of diverticulitis, pain in right upper, left power abdomen, rotten egg burps. The rotten egg burp can be indirectly causing this as there can be overgrowth of the bacteria that cause and produce the gases that sell like the rotten eggs, hence the burp. I would advise you the following: Get the stool tested. CT scan of the abdomen to see the present status of diverticulitis. Proper antibiotic and metronidazole coverage for 5 days. PPI like Omeprazole. Domperidone for motility control. Probiotics, activated charcoal tablets. Symptomatic and supportive treatment. Surgery for diverticulitis if advised by your Surgeon. Home made foods strictly, no junk foods. Treated water only.
