Diverticulitis
"After 7 days suffering lower left abdominal pain (1st time) I was diagnosed with diverticulitis. I am 63. I was prescribed Metronidazole 400 mg - 1 tablet 3 times daily - along with 500 mg Keflex (Cefalexin) - same daily dosage.  I took both for 7 days as prescribed. Very relieved to be free of the pain. Suffered dizzy spells, extreme tiredness &amp; felt very unwell. Stopped taking the meds 2 weeks ago.  No pain but still have not returned to my usual self. Still very tired and not quite &quot;real&quot; and have the odd dizzy spell. Wonder if I will return to normal?  I am also wheat &amp; gluten intolerant - breakfast cereals are not something I can eat.  Eating fibre in the form of fruit - particularly pears &amp; apples helps me as does yoghurt &amp; milk."
