Protocols for a Diverticulitis flare

To be clear, this is my personal strategy for dealing with my gastrointestinal issues.  This is not intended as advise for anyone else.

When going to the doctor, remember to ask for Dicyclomine with the antibiotics.  Consider bringing an old bottle to show the doctor.

Directly after visiting the doctor, while picking up the prescriptions, obtain the following items if they aren't on hand:

OTC pain relievers
MiroLAX if needed
plenty of fluids with no sugar, sugar alcohols or milk
apple sauce with no sugar added
deglycyrrhizinated licorice  (not SCD legal)
slippery elm  (not SCD legal)
marshmallow root  (not SCD legal)
5 HTP
probiotics to be taken at the end of the course of antibiotics


Pull out the SCD books, particularly Ending the Vicious Cycle.
