    I do experience a lot of gas pains as a side effect of diverticulitis. Make sure you cut fiber out of your diet. Really check and make notes as to what food causes more pain than others. It is usually localized in the left side of my abdomen. However it is not limited to that area. I do also have IBS that causes pain in other parts of the digestive process. I do notice a lot more pain if I eat something that is harder to digest. Some things that help me is, IB Guard-peppermint time release capsules, reduce fiber, eat easily digestible foods, take a daily probiotic, try a fiber supplement during periods of constipation as well. Hang in there. I know it can feel depressing at times. You're not alone. :-)
