I Am A Week Into A Diverticulitis Infection. I Am

I am a week into a diverticulitis infection. I am prescribe Flaygl and Cipro. The Flaygl is extremely hard on the stomach so am also taking Zofran. With the lack of fiber in the diet, I became constipated. I am drinking approximotely I used Colace to help keep the stool soft. I had no discomfort the first 5 days, and no passing of stool. This afternoon, I finally had a bowel movement. It was a large (I mean large) amount of stool, all quite soft. Over next 6 hours, I have had numbers more small bowel movements. I am drinking 16 oz water bottles constantly...I'd say at least one an hour. So one issue may be under control but the next is not...hemorrhoids. Painful though not bleeding. It's hard to walk and sit. It hurts to have a bowel moment. I fly to England (from LA) Tuesday am. Recommendations? Prep H suppositories?
