4. Bloating in the belly
Bloating refers to a sensation that causes you to feel as if your belly is full of fluid. It can be uncomfortable and make your clothing fit tightly.
There are several reasons the abdomen can become bloated, such as an excess buildup of gas, or the accumulation of fluid; it’s also a symptom that is often associated with diverticulitis.
When the pouches in the intestinal walls become inflamed, it’s not unusual to experience belly bloat. Should you notice that your belly feels and/or looks bloated, it could be a sign that indicates you have developed diverticulitis.
