I have been on PPI pills for more then 30 years due to my stomach creating a lots of acid. lately i have been experiencing upset stomach and feels like vomiting and I don't have the appetite to eat. also another severe pain in very lower of my belly button, it hurts when i caught and when i go to sit down. i have done many scopes and the Doctor found that i have a Diverticulitis. Avery time the pain comes on my Doctor put me on antibiotic, but it doesn't help my pain. it feels like Groin pain. your help/comment is appreciated.

Hello @mikesl, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @riflemanz64 and others. You mentioned that your doctor diagnosed you with diverticulitis. I thought you might find this article helpful that is very similar to the pain you are describing.
"The most common symptoms of diverticulitis are abdominal pain and fever. The abdominal pain of diverticulitis is usually lower and/or left-sided abdominal pain. The pain is usually sharp and constant, and the pain may seem to travel, or radiate, to the leg, groin, back, and side."
