Changes in Bowel Habit
People with diverticulitis would experience some changes in their bowel habits. Diarrhea and constipation could happen, depending on the exact trigger. Both conditions might be caused when the walls of your bowel are inflamed or irritated by bacterial infections. Though constipation or diarrhea is quite common, the presence of other symptoms mentioned above at the same time would confirm the occurrence of diverticulitis. Major changes in bowel habits would also cause some other issues, such as gas, bloating, and stomach discomfort. [3]
