      I get the same...it has continued for 5 years. Sometimes have pain, sometimes not. It's always worse when I actually get diverticulitis but it never really goes away. The consultant said it's due to my DD but this confuses me as my colon isn't inflamed all the time because I have had biopsies taken.
