Don't Ignore These 10 Warning Signs of Diverticulitis

5. Bloating

Diverticulitis can produce bloating and flatulence that may last for days or even weeks. The blockage of gas in a digestive system impaired by bowel inflammation can also cause bloating. Typically, people with the condition experience sporadic lower belly pain along with cramping and bloating. The gas pain can come and go, sometimes in throbbing waves. Bowel movements provide some relief from bloating. However, in the case of constipation, pain and cramping can be severe.
