I wrestled diverticulitis for over a year. Tried diet changes, exercise and different meds. I did find that drinking Aloe Vera juice gave some relief. In my case, the divertic always came back. after a week of being off antibiotics. It got so bad that the gut simply wouldn't heal, so surgery was the only option.
Good luck.
p.s. If surgery becomes necessary. Discuss "adhesion barriers" with the surgeon. I ended up with some pretty nasty/painful adhesions (scar tissue) after the surgery.
I'd probably say start with some probiotics to start to build back up your immune system they slowly build up on fiber as suggested. If it's Severe though surgery maybe your only option. Did they mention any Perforation or abscesses that could be seen in either scan? If so that's often the case where it needs to be addressed ASAP. I dated someone for 2 year who had Crohns and something like this isn't anything to mess around with.
