Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello, Thanks for your quiery.
If you are over the age of 45-50, Diverticulitis is a possibility.
Typical symptoms are fever, chills, abdominal pain, usually lower
quadrants along with diarrhea and even bleeding. The best test
to diagnose this is by a CT-Scan . Also if you have a very high
white cell count , this goes with it.
Other than that , it is possible that you have a case of gastroenteritis
either viral or bacterial. If the symptoms get worse , please contact
your doctor for further work up. Stay on clear liquid diet and keep
a close watch on the stool and check your temperature also.
I wish you well.
