I'm still pretty new to having diverticulitis and my only episode with it was a perforation. I'm getting pressure on the side of my stomach now, that kind of feels like someone is pushing their fingers into my side. It's not pain, just kind of uncomfortable. Has anyone ever had this? Should I increase my fiber or decrease my fiber?

If possible, only drink juices for 1 day, no food. If that's not possible just eat a little as you can and eat fruit, drink a lot of water. Give your guts a rest. If you run a fever see a doc for antibiotics.
