Can Uncomplicated Pancolonic Diverticular Disease Make My Left Foot Go Red?

In My Unusual Feet, which I wrote in February 2022, I showed this typical picture of my feet.

Note how the left foot is redder than the right.

This prompted me to ask Google AI, the question in the title of this post and I received this answer.

No, uncomplicated pancolonic diverticular disease itself is not likely to cause a red left foot, though it’s possible for pain to radiate to the legs. A red foot would be a symptom of a different issue, and could be related to complications from the diverticular disease, such as sepsis (a severe infection), or another unrelated condition like poor circulation or an infection. It’s important to see a doctor to determine the cause of the red foot and rule out a more serious problem, especially if you have symptoms like fever or severe pain.

As sepsis is mentioned, if it happens again, I’ll see a health professional.
