Diverticulitis
"While they do the job as intended the Flagyl makes you sick and nauseous. Food and drink lose its taste and you can gag from just trying to swallow the pill. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis last year and spent 12 days in the hospital with a perforated colon.  Luckily the meds did the job and kept me from having to get surgery which would have resulted in a colostomy bag for 4-6 months.  This year I had some symptoms again and went to doctor right away. I got the meds again (Flagyl and Cipro 500 mg each twice a day). 48 hours in I am feeling better from the disease but not so much from the meds.  

To get past the taste of the pills on the way down I started taking it with a spoonful of honey."
