Is Dicyclomine Safe To Be Taken While Having Diverticulosis?
I have been diagnosed with diverticulosis and recently have been experiencing minor bloating and spasms. I know I need to increase my fiber but how many supplement capsules should I take. Also, is there any danger in taking the dicyclomine to ease the pressure?
