Should I Consult A Doctor For Diarrhea While Suffering From Diverticulitis?
I was diagnosed with diverticulitis in November. I ve been very careful with my diet. On Saturday i had a salad, a couple of hours later my stomach was grumbling. I had to run to the bathroom. I had diarrhea which was liquid. It happened four times. The same thing happened last night. I m a bit concerned. Do you think I should see my doctor?
You may be suffering from acute gastroenteritis. If your having pain abdomen or blood in stool or pus in stools means you have to consult your doctor immediately.
If no above symptoms then take plenty of liquids, use tablet Sporulac twice a day for five days. Use tablet Ofloxacin and ornidazole twice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
