Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis: NIDDK (Excerpt)
Most people with diverticulosis do not have any discomfort or symptoms.
However, symptoms may include mild cramps, bloating, and constipation.
Other diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and stomach ulcers
cause similar problems, so these symptoms do not always mean a person has
diverticulosis. You should visit your doctor if you have these troubling
symptoms.
