Vomiting
Vomiting is another natural defense mechanism meant to keep food from entering a “compromised” digestive tract. This symptom is common before or during acute diverticulitis attacks. The brain triggers vomiting when it receives chemical signals that a part of the digestive system is unable to function properly. Short bouts of vomiting shouldn’t be a cause for concern. Furthermore, many illnesses cause vomiting. However, this symptom can be dangerous when it is persistent and occurs alongside other diverticulitis symptoms like diarrhea.
