okay, so riddle me this. how can a young, healthy, athletic woman who eats more vegetables than Peter Rabbit end up with diverticulitis?

yes, me! and I haven't had nuts or seeds or corn or anything that might be an irritant.
I've been sick and in pain since Sunday and finally went to the doc today. she didn't make it very clear to me if this would be a chronic condition (let's hope not) or a one-shot pita.

symptoms have been dull aching pain in left lower quadrant (behind my hip bone) which amplifies when I eat or void, low-grade fever, general fatigue, HR wouldn't go up during workout although power was fine, feeling of thirst, frequent urination.

okay, done venting.
