What Causes Pain In Upper Abdomen When Diagnosed With Diverticulosis?

I have had cronic stomach pain in my upper abdomen for years now. Worse in the mornings by far, better only if I eat. I do have diverticulosis. I have to rush in the mornings for toast or banana or I will start gagging. Rarely leads to an actual vomit but I dry heave horribly. Im a male 45 years old im 50 pounds overweight due to NA.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that the pain in the mornings may also be related to GERD.

This typically causes early morning or late evening pain.

It is treated with lifestyle changes and medication.

The lifestyle changes mainly involve changes in diet and weight loss if possible.

The medication include meds such as nexium, prilosec, prevacid

I hope this helps
