Ive had chronic lower left pelvic pain that has gotten more severe. docs think probable diverticulitis. told me to just drink fiber and ill be fine. pain is worse. now i just had my first pale white stool. emergency, can wait, or just eat more fibe?

Pale white stool has nothing to do with diverticulitis. If you have fever and nausea/vomit along with worsened pain then you should go to ER. If pain is tolerable and no other symptoms you can observe. Good luck.
