I have had Divirticulitis for years. A year ago this month, woke up with severe pain on left side of stomach. I suffered a Perforated Bowel resulting in emergency surgery....all from having Divirticulitis. Pain meds and Aspirin can be a huge cause for this. I now have to wear a Colostomy bag because I had 1 foot of diseased colon removed.

Wow! Did you have any pain leading up to the perforation? I have like 3 flares a year. I have gotten to the point of not taking them as serious as I should I suppose. I just get aggravated because of the pain and tell myself it is my fault for not eating right. But it is a mystery sometimes because it seems to happen out of the blue. Thank you for sharing.

SO sorry you had to go thru all this! I have a younger cousin with your and my diagnosis who said after she had a portion of her intestines removed, her pain level reduced, and she was much better. But in this forum it appears there are mixed results. (??)
