I had diverticulitis a year after transplant & was treated with 1,000 mg of augmenton antibiotic. 7 yrs later, I'm still ok. Good luck

drdetroit: thanks for responding. even though I'm a nurse you get so much conflicting info from the docs you reach a point where you don't know if you're coming or going. Thanks/

Are you sure it's not diverticulosis & not diverticulitis. One is an infection the other is not. I still have diverticulosis, no infection
