Diverticulitis is an infection of the colonic diverticula and causes symptoms like pain. Constipation can be treated by MOM if no active infection with half the dose because of your low wt.. Do not take enemas or suppositories. If you have abdominal pain or fever pl see a surgeon or go to the ER. Hope you do well
