question: I am on day 7 of a 10 day rx of Flagyl and Cipro for diverticulitis (never had it before) and I am having extreme abdomnal pain, feels like really bad gas but cannot pass gas. From blogs I ve seen this appears to be a somewhat normal side effect. I am having many bowel movements. Please advise. I have a call into my doctor (8 am this morning, but have not heard back yet) Thanks
