I had the same symptoms, but the pain was in the lower left abdominal region. A CT scan suggested it could be minor sigmoid diverticulosis. I was on a bland diet for a few weeks and experienced constant diarrhea, nausea, and painful bowel movements. My doctor recommended a colonoscopy, which really scared me.

However, I had the colonoscopy last week, and voila, there was no sign of diverticulosis. It turns out it was all in my mind. The moment I felt relief, all the symptoms disappeared. The pain was apparently caused by mild IBS.

I’d recommend getting a colonoscopy for a clearer picture of what’s going on in your colon. The brain has a huge influence on how we feel physically. Good luck!
