Hi

I have gone through your query.

Diverticulitis is the swelling and inflammation of the intestines. This can cause pain, contractions, nausea, and vomiting.

There is likely to be a loss of appetite. The treatment is usually to treat any infection and eating a bland liquid like diet to help prevent nausea and diarrhea.

In case this is not helping, it would be a good idea to see a doctor again and to get a scopy or visualisation of the colon done to help confirm if there is any infection or any other disease.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Vignan Rachabattuni
