Diverticulitis
"Had my first flare with diverticulitis 4 months ago, ended up in the emergency room. Prescribed Bactrim and Flagyl and four days bed rest. Pain subsided after 2 days on the meds, but felt pretty crummy for the next week, and had to deal with loss of taste and bad taste in my mouth. Didn&#039;t attribute feeling so yucky with the meds. Had a second milder diverticulitis flare up four days ago. Went to the doc 2 days ago and I&#039;m back on Bactrim and Flagyl. Came back to work today and I am SO NAUSEOUS! The bad taste in my mouth has returned, and I really don&#039;t feel well at all. I really DO NOT want to end up where I was last Jan when I went to the emergency room - so I&#039;m still taking the Flagyl. Doc gave me Zofran for the nausea, it helps some."
