Are Nausea, Abdominal Pain And Abnormal Bowel Movement Symptoms Of Diverticulitis?

I have all the symptoms from Diverticulitis nausea, abdominal pain on the left side, chills and a slight headache. I have had this before and I am only 36 yrs old. My bowl movements are green and mushy and smell horrible like an infection. Is this caused by the Diverticulitis?

Hi.

Yes it can be caused by diverticulitis. But I would either way recommend a stool analysis, to make sure you do not have an infection. This is standard procedure and helps narrow in on the diverticulitis and initiate treatment accordingly.

Best wishes.
