Any advice about traveling with diverticulitis? Diagnosed with diverticulitis two days ago, and we are scheduled to go to China and Thailand for 3 weeks in two days. Doctor has prescribed antibiotics for 20 days and strongly advises on traveling to these countries because of possible complications. Hate to cancel our trip for a second time having spent a great deal of time and resources in preparing for the trip.
Ed the only advice I can give you is keep within a toilet and if you are really bad you can buy loperamides over the counter buy a couple of boxes - if it is bad take 2 or 3 at the one time they are mild mind you once a day - it will get tide you over until you come back home. antibiotics don't do it as it is not an infection. I have been diagnosed - I mean did you get the camera up your bum. That is how it is diagnosed.
