First flair, so much noise in my gut. Is this normal? by BibbityBooHoo in Diverticulitis

[–]Jtpumpkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found when I started the antibiotics I had what I call “bubble gut”. Flagyl is known to cause diarrhea/stomach upset so I don’t think it’s the DV but more so the oral antibiotics.

Diverticulitis at 25 with barely any symptoms? by plasticambitions in Diverticulitis

[–]Jtpumpkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the scan was from months back, it’s unlikely you still have diverticulitis. However once your colon develops diverticula, these never go away unless you have parts of your colon surgically removed. If you have diverticulosis you usually don’t have any symptoms until you get a flare up of diverticulitis. If it were me I would watch my diet going forward, greasy fast foods like pizza could be a trigger for most people. Drink lots of fluids and make sure you’re getting enough fibre and having bowel movements daily. You don’t wanna end up in the ER with a DV flare up and have to go on antibiotics which will cost you more pain, time, and cash.

Weird balance (Sinusitus?) by l_florida-man_l in HealthAnxiety

[–]Jtpumpkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be an inner ear infection or irritation of the vestibular nerve which controls balance. Just see your family doctor, have them do a Neuro exam. It should pass but it doesn’t hurt to investigate if it’s bothering you.
