Hello,
It is possible of the passing of blobs of mucous with blood (altered color) with diverticulitis. Don't worry, eat fruits and vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Avoid caffeinated drinks. Use antispasmodics and antibiotics for one week in case of flare up. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
