A member asked:
I have infected diverticulitis and on clamoxyl. this is the secon antibiotics in a week. should i exercise while i have this infection. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No exercise : Exercise during a bout of diverticulitis or infection ; associated inflammation of a diverticula or pouch like sac arising from the intestine. It may be associated with a microperforation ; therefore carry a small but real risk of frank perforation peritonitis. Low fiber diet, good hydration, completion of a course of antibiotics, ; general rest is what i recommend. Colonoscopy recommended in 6wk.
