Some of the antibiotics used for diverticulitis react with alcohol and propylene glycol (Miralax). You should speak to your doctor or pharmacist first.

Gee, I wouldn't chance it without your Dr's approval to be safe.

My dr isn't in til Monday, I'm calling him then. I'm feeling alittle better now.. Bloating comes and go, I'm thinking it's from eating..soft foods and no fiber.. Being new to all of this, I think I'm gong to start writing a diary of everything I eat , maybe I can figure this out. Thank you for commenting Balbanese, much appreciated! :)
