Thank you for your reply..I have diverticulitis per colonoscopy and pet scan.. I have read about overgrowth and did take cipro 500 mg daily for 5 days and came out of being so weak I could hardly walk episode!..the dr said just try and it helped..thank you! I know taking antibiotics when no fever or culture sounds questionable but it did help a few months ago.....I am in pain a lot but when I am really weak..I wonder if something else is going on..

When diverticulosis turns to diverticulitis, antibiotics are often given.  Unfortunately, it is often Cipro.  I don't react well to Cipro, but generic Ceftin is awesome and I feel better.  I don't think I have divericulitis, but possibly bacterial overgrowth due to slow digestion.
