Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Diverticuloum is a abnormal outward projection of mucosa of colon.

When it is get infected repeatedly then it is known as recurrent diverticulitis.

You might have repeated infection of this leading to diarrhea, vomiting, flatulence etc.

You can take antibiotics (quinolones or cephalosporins) with antiprotozoals likemetronidazole,antiemetics,antispasmodics, probiotics and other supportive treatment with dietary restrictions to low fat and high protein.

But the main cure is the only surgical removal of diverticulam because of repeated gut infection or they could be also chances of complications like peritonie,bowel obstruction etc.

So,better you see gastrosurgeon and take advise.

Regards,
I find this answer helpful
