History Of Removal Of Colon. Abdominal Pain, Loose And Green Stools, No Appetite, Fever. Return Of Diverticular Disease?

Hi, I had a foot of my colon removed 5 years ago and in the last two days I have had pain in the lower left abdominal , hard to pass gas , don't want to eat, stools are loose and today green. Now I did take a Senokat and a muscle relaxant to sleep through the pain. I also had a low grade fever last night at work. 37.8 . Could this mean a return of diverticular disease, ( that is why I had a partial removal of my colon)..??

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Yes, it could be a recurrence of possibly previously existing diverticular disease of the remaining part of colon. It could also be just a food poisoning, if you are not careful on your diet. With the known past history of diverticular disease, I would suggest you not to neglect, and show yourself to your treating doctor/surgeon at the earliest possible if the symptoms persist or increase.
Wishing you an early recovery.
