Nasty stuff but effective for gastro bacteria problems. You need a certain level of bacteria in your gastro system but if something is out of whack, cipro and flagyl or the drugs of choice. She may suspect a problem in that area.
Diverticula (spelling?) is a problem where your colon gets some spots like a weak tire inner tube. Shit - literally, collects and sometimes creates an infection.
Here are two things to consider that won't hurt and can only help:
1. after the meds are done, eat yogurt for a weak to get the good bacteria thriving again in your gastro tract
2. go on a high fiber diet - 20-30 mgs/day, which will help your shit move through your gastro tract and avoid creating or exacerbating any diverticula spots.
Last, I would never just not take something your doctor prescribed unless you discuss it with them. If you don't trust or can't do this, it's time to get another doctor! But looking things up and asking questions - like you're doing - is a good thing.
