I was recently in hospital, had IV with antibiotics and a couple of shots of morphine . Now I m home on a strict clear liquid diet for 2-3 days? Also on cap/tab antibiotics. The swelling in my stomach is not going away...I am weak and discouraged. I m not used to being so inactive, uncomfortable and bloated. They diagnosed me with Diverticulitus.
Colonoscopy is strongly contraindicated in diverticulitis! It may result with large intestine perforation! Colonoscopy can be done after full healing of the inflammation. Morphine is also contraindicated in diverticulitis! It causes severe constipation! And constipation are the main reason of diverticulitis. And it seems like either an antibiotic are not working or it is not diverticulitis. You should visit your doctor again. An abdomen X-ray should be performed to rule a perforation and obstruction out. Take care
