May not be diverticu: Diverticulosis means pockets in wall of the colon; generally no symptoms. 1 or 2 in 10 patients may have complication-bleeding and/or inflammation/infection (diverticulitis). Uncommonly severe diverticulosis can cause ongoing symptoms. You may have any of a number of causes , some not serious, some can be. Call your doc.
