Diverticulosis ?

[Toddyboy12]

I’ve been suffering with abdominal pains with bloating and cramping for around 6 weeks. I have always suffered with constipation going to the toilet 2-3 times a week nearly always hard stools but this is my normal. When these symptoms started I started taking Movicol 2 sachets a day but after 3 days I had horrible cramping and loose stools so I stopped taking it. Since then I have random days of cramping pain and bloating. Today I went to the GP and he suspects diverticulitis and been given antibiotics and said to take the Movicol again but just half a sachet twice a day. He also has referred me for a scan as he also thinks it maybe pain from the uterus as the cramping feels like period pains, I no longer have periods as post menopausal and I have a coil that’s been there nearly 5 years. Hopefully on the right treatment path.
