A member asked:
Waves of pain&burning on&off where i have a diverticula at the top part of desc. colon. could this be from stool in pouch then subsides when it passes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's the inherent : Inflammation of the pouches of diverticula aggravated by the passage of undigested food and stool that causes pain. Antibiotics is needed if they are inflamed and pain gets worse. Always follow up with your GI for any concerns. Take care!
