My Dad had several episodes with it a few years ago. He said it felt like someone was sticking a hot knife into his gut. You get a very acute/sharp pain that after watching him with it looked pretty excruciating. He would go to the ER, get on antibiotics of some sort and it would subside after a couple of days.
Nuts, anything with seeds or small hard particles of any kind must get axed from the diet (like the seeds on a hamburger bun, strawberries, etc.) They can get lodged in your diverticula and get infected. My Dad's response was "after you hit a certain age blah blah everyone gets it to one degree or another" but after about the 3rd or 4th flare up he wised up and refined his diet, did the Atkins thing and dropped about 45-50 lbs and I don't recall him having an issue with it for about 2-3 years now.
Then my Dad got run over in an off leash dog park by a Great Dane that mowed him down and blew his knee out...
