Diverticulitis?

My mum started with lower back pain a couple of weeks ago & loose stools. In the last few days, the back pain has subsided but when standing for long periods of time she starts to feel a stitch like pain in her left side along with a lot of wind. She’s been to the GP today who has arranged for blood tests and stool samples to be sent away. She mentioned Diverticulitis but cannot rule out more serious conditions.

Has anyone else experienced this?
