This is what I do too. If I feel it coming on I do broth for a couple of days until it passes. Has anyone ever had dark purplish blood in their stools and if so is that part of the diverticulitis symptoms?

Dark purplish blood can be indicative of bleeding from the small intestine or stomach area. Blood originating in the colon is almost always bright red blood (fresh blood color) if the purplish blood is there, I urge you to see your Doctor ASAP.

From what I have read and been told, blood in stool is a very bad sign. There should not be blood ever. Better ask the doctor to check you out.
