What triggers diverticulitis flare ups?

Diverticulitis is an infection of the small, sac-like diverticules in the large intestine. These diverticules are sacs that store bowel waste and can become inflamed (called diverticulitis), which can lead to diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Diverticulitis flare UPS can be triggered by a number of things, including a change in your diet, a viral or bacterial infection, or a physical stressor, such as a bout of diarrhea or vomiting.

Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection and pain relief. If the diverticulitis flare up is due to a physical stressor, you may need to rest and avoid heavy lifting for a period of time.
