I am a 51 women and have had discomfort on my left side for about a year. I have always been a fairly gassy person but it has been worse. I lost about a 100 pounds last year on a diet (I was very overweight not sure if that makes a difference). Anyway.... the last colonscopy I had said  had the beginnings of diverticulitis. That was about 5 years ago and I am scheuled for a new colonoscopy soon. I am worried. If i lay down I can feel a bulge and if I rub or push on it.... it sems to disappear and the pain lessens. Also after I  have bowel movement it feels better.  I gained a few pounds back the last couple months and feel ok otherwise. Anyone have the same symptons?
