10 Diverticulitis Symptoms
Symptom #5: Gas
As a result of the digestive problems that you experience due to diverticulitis, the chances are that you are going to experience gas problems and bloating as well. While going through the symptom of massive gas problems, you will probably also experience extreme abdominal pain and cramps. The gas problems have been reported to last for several weeks, occurring off and on again. It has been suggested that in order to reduce the gas problems, you should avoid any foods that are known to cause gas and/or bloating such as beans.
Drinking lots of fluids, especially water, has been suggested to have a great effect on your digestive system at these times. You may feel some relief after you have experienced diarrhea and you will probably experience more severe gas attacks during the period of constipation.
