Brief Answer:
yes a good chance

Detailed Answer:
Hi

It was observed that the incidence of diverticulitis is 60% in people over 60 yrs of age in Australia. With these stats and a recurring symptom of abdominal pain for four months there is a chance of it.

Please note that there are specific criteria to diagnose diverticulosis which your local Gastroenterologist will follow. Please see him soon for a CT Scan abdomen.

Let me know anything else.
