Pain with BM: 36 year old gentleman with abdominal pain after BM finishing course of antibiotics for diverticular disease. The course of antibiotics you are taking can modify your intestinal flora and cause gastrointestinal upset. In addition, you have proven diverticular disease. No nausea, vomiting, diarrhea hopefully it will not persist. Probiotics/continue abx however discuss pain with treating MD please
