Diverticulitis attack after months of overeating?

Hello Members

to begin, i would like to say that i got into an emotional eating pattern around 6 months ago in August 2015 and it continued till January 12th 2015, and then i developed following symptoms on 12th.

1) blood in stools in 2 bowel movements on that day and it hasn't after that. (4 days have passed.), it was there earlier also 1-2 weeks ago on 2 instances.
2) abdomen lower left side ache (colon?) - it increases sometimes to bearable but quite some pain and sometimes gets fine.
3) little pain around rectum. - not much.

I am 28 year old, 170 cm and 108 lbs and maybe losing further which should be obvious if my colon is overworking? i have been trying to go raw vegan but failed terribly at it with this emotional eating, but that means i have also had lots of fruits and vegetables, also other good things like aloe vera juice, coconut water etc at these times.

my doctor thinks it's IBS, but i readings from curezone and internet and knowing my eating pattern from last six months, think it is diverticulitis, my doctor says it because of my age, i haven't been diagnosed with it, i don't want to go through CT scan or endoscopy, if i touch at the colon around that area, it seems little swollen as well.

Anyways, i read few things on internet which helped me but i am not sure i should continue with:

1) applying hot pack on abdomen.
2) mild bouncing and jumping exercises at home.
3) have been mostly on liquid diet except some fruits twice and a dessert (not very sweet) twice at different times.
4) had apple juice for constipation, that's why maybe having watery stools and quite often, wouldn't call it diarrhea as it is not much.
5) keeping myself hydrated by drinking more than usual.
6) will go on Water Fast for 1-3 days depending on my health and then on juice fast for some days.
7) i already had a parasite cleans with neem oil (15 drops, i have taken in twice in last week and after that rejuvelac for good flora)
8) i also massaged the area, but that increases pain, so don't plan to do it till i am better.

I also strongly feel after facing this, i am done with overeating and i can start raw vegan or 80-20 diet after and while recovering from it.

Please suggest further course of actions.

I have some questions that i would like to ask

1) should i apply heated packs on pain area or not? as a friend said that heated pack shouldn't be applied if there has been a bleeding (in stools, but that was 4 days ago), i also read somewhere that for mild attack, you should apply heated packs.

1) should i go for aloe vera or wheat grass juice or rejuvelac fast instead of water fast? since these work on the colon.

2) doctor recommended some Antibiotics for infection, on what basis i should decide whether i really need them, if pain increases?

3) should i continue the exercise, obviously when i am not feeling the pain or should i wait to get better?
