The symptoms described are characteristic of diverticulitis, which is inflammation and infection of small pouches called diverticula that can form in the walls of the colon due to a diet low in fiber. This can cause abdominal pain, constipation, nausea, vomiting, and a low-grade fever. The high intake of digestible carbohydrates and fats may contribute to this condition as it can lead to a lack of fiber in the diet.
