Diverticulitis as well as diverticular disease can be diagnosed with barium X-rays, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, or CT scan. Treatment of diverticulitis and diverticular disease can include high fiber diet, and anti-spasmodic drugs. Foods to eat that may prevent diverticulitis flares include fruits and vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.
When diverticulitis occurs, antibiotics usually are needed. Oral antibiotics are sufficient when symptoms are mild. Some examples of commonly prescribed antibiotics include: ciprofloxacin (Cipro), metronidazole (Flagyl), cephalexin (Keflex), and; doxycycline (Vibramycin). What are other treatments for diverticulitis? Liquid or low fiber foods are advised during acute attacks of diverticulitis. This is done to reduce the amount of material that passes through the colon, which at least theoretically, may aggravate the diverticulitis.
