It's been 10day after antibiotics for diverticulitis still feeling sore after bm what can i do not to get constipated but still keep low fibr diet?

Prevent constipation: What's wrong with fiber? You should be ingesting lots of fiber if you're having problems with BMs. I suggest something like Metamucil 1 tbsp daily mixed with a full glass of water.
