left sind pain under rib cage extending to the back

by jb2002, Dec 29, 2001 12:00AM
I am a 29 yo active male in relitively good health.  I was just diagnosed with a mild case of divirticulosis and have finished the antibiotic run of Cipro and Flagyl.  

The last few days I have been experiencing a pain in my left side, under my bottom left rib cage and towards my back.  I am taking donnatol, but that does not seem to help much for this.  What could be the problem, I am also taking metamucil once a day?

I could be lactose intolerant, but I never had a problem before.

thx,

Joe
