A member asked:
I have slight swelling right below my left rib cage don't know what it is being treated for mild diverticulitis right now could it be that?

Unlikely: If it feels like dough, it could be a lipoma (a benign fatty tumor underneath the skin). These are usually not tender when you press on them. It is unlikely that you would have any cutaneous (skin) manifestations of diverticulitis, especially mild.
