Hi,
Diverticulitis is a condition where small pouches called diverticula form in the lining of the colon and become inflamed or infected. While diarrhea can be a symptom of diverticulitis, it's important to discuss all of your symptoms with your healthcare provider to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Based on what you've described, it's possible that you may have other digestive issues or infections that could be causing your symptoms. Passing foreign bodies and blood can be concerning, and it's important to seek medical attention right away. In the meantime, it's important to stay hydrated and try to eat foods that are easy on your digestive system. Stick to bland, low-fiber foods like plain rice, boiled potatoes, and bananas.
Avoid spicy, fried, or greasy foods, as well as caffeine and alcohol, which can irritate the digestive tract. Again, please don't hesitate to seek medical attention for your symptoms. Your healthcare provider can perform tests and recommend treatments to help manage your symptoms and improve your overall health.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Diarrhea, passing foreign objects, passing blood, and severe stomach pain can all be symptoms of diverticulitis, so it's important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Diverticulitis is a condition in which small, bulging pouches called diverticula form in the lining of the digestive system, usually in the colon. When these pouches become inflamed or infected, it can cause a range of symptoms, including diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and nausea.
It's important that you see a doctor or healthcare provider as soon as possible, as they can perform tests to determine the cause of your symptoms and develop a treatment plan. They may recommend antibiotics to treat any infection, as well as changes to your diet to help manage your symptoms.
In the meantime, it may be helpful to avoid foods that can aggravate symptoms, such as spicy or fatty foods, and to drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. It's also important to practice good hygiene to prevent any infections or further complications. Again, I strongly recommend that you seek medical attention as soon as possible to address your symptoms and receive appropriate treatment.
