Hey guys.. I don't have diverticulosis at all. Turns out it was a mis-diagnosis. I had a CT scan done today and the problem is a "fat pad torsion" Essentially little fingers of fat are connected to the outside of the colon. One of mine is twisted around cutting of circulation. The doctor said this is unusual, but not unheard of. He said it will resolve itself without further treatment other than antibiotics.

However, I suppose i should take some of the things i've learned here in mind to prevent myself from ever getting diverticulosis since i do have chronic constipation. I'm going to eat more fiber from now on anyway.
