What are the symptoms of diverticulosis?

Usually diverticulosis does not cause any troublesome symptoms. However, some people report:

• Tenderness over the affected area.
• Mild abdominal cramps.
• Swelling or bloating.
• Constipation.

Keep in mind that having one or more of these symptoms doesn’t mean you have diverticulosis. These symptoms are common symptoms of other gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, appendicitis, gallstones and stomach ulcers.
