Hi welcome to the health care magic
You have history of acid reflux and diverticulitis, so they can be causative factor again
Here pain relieved by defecation suggestive towards irritable bowel syndrome like functional problem if history of alternate diarrhea and constipation present as well
You might prescribed omeprazole capsule for two week that is taken before meal on empty stomach
Avoid stress
Fiber supplements and psyllium husk with milk also can be prescribed
Avoid excess spicy foods and avoid smoking
Take care
Consult physician for examination
