My Mum had Diverticulitis in the end.
To save you Googling "Diverticulitis occurs when the bulging sacs that appear in the lining of your large intestine, or colon, get acutely infected or inflamed."
It can be quite serious in older people and she just passed it off for 2 days as a bug before gong to the hospital.
So they pumped her full of antibiotics and she has a 10-day course to take at home, other than that she is ok
Glad she's ok. My Dad had that too (not in this recent spell of ill health but a previous one). To sort it, it involved sticking a tube and cutting out a polyp. I'm sure it was more detailed than that, but they are details I don't particularly want to know
