A member asked:
Should movicol be taken during a flare up of diverticulitis and if not when should it be started ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unless so recommended by treating physician, not the ideal time to take a laxative, such as Movicol. Would recommend avoiding use of any laxative during the diverticulitis flare.
