I had a lot of antibiotics as a kid. Tetracycline..others amox. I plan on really increasing my probiotics and prebiotic fiber after this flare. I'm going to take 50 billion and work my way to 90 billion probiotics. I don't think I was taking enough. Odd was right when I got the attack, I was drinking kefir, which I haven't had in a long time. Could diverticulitis be actually caused by a food intolerance like to dairy? (lowers the immune system and irritates the bowl and allows the bad bacteria to grow) All I know is when I was vegetarian I never had any issues.
