Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
In the last week, I have been having stomach pains at times after consuming a meal and after a while the pain subsides. I have diverticulitis but I have no pain on the left side. When I first was experiencing the pain, I would take an Advil and that helped. I have no other symptoms such as nausea and my stools are normal. Thank you.
