It can accompany it: Anxiety isn't an automatic side effect of diverticulitis, but i've known people who get very anxious about having another possible attack. Some get extremely anxious about their diets, having been told by their physicians that eating nuts and seeds can exacerbate it. However, recent data do not support these recommendations. http://tinyurl.com/l388cy3.
