A member asked:

How can i relieve stomach spasms and bloating. i was recently given antibiotics for divirticulitis but the symptoms are getting annoying.

Bloating : It really depends what Is causing your symptoms... Could be a variety of reasons for this such as IBS or GERD (acid reflux ) etc ... Also using antibiotics can cause Mal-digestion & bloating ... You can treat it symptomatically... Semithicone can work for bloating or you can use PPI such as Prilosec OTC to see if there's any improvements .. Next step is seeing your PCP of course !
