Brief Answer:
Yes, it can.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Diverticulosis is typically located in the sigmoid colon which is on the left side. That being said, diverticulosis can be located anywhere in the bowel, including the right side. You should have a colonoscopy performed in a few weeks to confirm the diagnosis.

I hope this helps.
