How fast can diverticula develop?
Posted , 5 users are following.
For the past few days I have noticed a tender spot on my left side under my rib that's sore to touch, at the same time I have been extremely gassy. After a bowel movement last night my stomach went crazy with rumbling and pain, it is still rumbling a lot today but without pain except for the tender spot still hurting when I touch around that area also worth noting that I'm not having diarrhea.
I'm curious if this is diverticulitis or something else - and the reason I ask how fast diverticula takes to develop is because I had a colonoscopy 2-3 years ago and that was clear. Could diverticula develop that fast or is it more likely this is something else? Also I'm 29years old.
Cheers!

'Gee' - don't ever try to get 'diagnosed' on a single-agenda forum like this - full of lifelong amateurs! See your GP as soon as convenient. You describe symptoms that could be anything abdominal. Complicated no end if you happen to be female, btw!
I hope your GP is approachable.
Cheers,
Pete.

Will give it few days and see how it goes from there, if it persists will book app - although I'm still curious about how long it takes for pouches to develop, can't really find any info about that online.

Right now I'm dealing with uncomfortable diverticulosis and finding some relief with slippery elm. Tonight I started regurgitating the slippery elm (I have a hiatal hernia too), and I'm feeling very nervous because this hasn't happened before and I don't know what to do about. But I'm getting off the topic....
I hope you will see your doctor soon and get some answers.
