http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/digest/pubs/divert/divert.htm

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots, like an inner tube that pokes through weak places in a tire. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. Pouches (plural) are called diverticula. The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis. About half of all Americans age 60 to 80, and almost everyone over age 80, have diverticulosis. When the pouches become infected or inflamed, the condition is called diverticulitis. This happens in 10 to 25 percent of people with diverticulosis. Diverticulosis and diverticulitis are also called diverticular disease
What causes diverticular disease?
Though not proven, the dominant theory is that a low-fiber diet is the main cause of diverticular disease. The disease was first noticed in the United States in the early 1900s. At about the same time, processed foods were introduced to the American diet. Many processed foods contain refined, low-fiber flour. Unlike whole-wheat flour, refined flour has no wheat bran. Diverticular disease is common in developed or industrialized countriesparticularly the United States, England, and Australiawhere low-fiber diets are common. The disease is rare in countries of Asia and Africa, where people eat high-fiber vegetable diets.

Herbs that help constipation include rhubarb, psyllium, and senna leaves. Goldenseal, papaya (the dried latex of the papaya is marketed under the names papayotin, papain or papoid), red clover, and yarrow are beneficial for diverticulitis. Caution: Do not take goldenseal on a daily basis for more than a week at a time, and do not use during pregnancy. Do not give goldenseal to children under two. Do not use goldenseal without consulting a physician if you have had heart disease, diabetes, glaucoma, a stroke, or high blood pressure. Caraway and peppermint teas are excellent digestive aids (recommend drinking peppermint tea after meals). Basil is an effective remedy for a variety of digestive disorders and promotes normal bowel function Chamomile tea at bedtime is gentle and calming Caution: Do not use chamomile on an ongoing basis, as ragweed allergy may result. Avoid it completely if you are allergic to ragweed.

Diverticulosis vs. Diverticulitis
Q:
I had a colonoscopy recently and my doctor advised a high-fiber diet including Metamucil, but no nuts, no seeds and no popcorn. I have been told by three doctors not to eat nuts, anything with seeds (including tomatoes), any kind of berries, poppy seeds, peas, corn and popcorn. Then I read that seeds, nuts, etc. aren't a problem. Please set us straight. I have been told that if piece of nut or seed did get lodged in a little pouch in my intestines, it could cause diverticulitis. If diverticuli are found, what is done about them? What foods should be avoided if that is necessary? What is a soft diet? Thanks for any correct information you can give me. A: As evidenced by the questions above, there is still a good deal of confusion about diverticulosis (the condition) and diverticulitis (the inflammation).

http://www.gutfeelings.com/DIVERTICULITIS.HTML
[Back to Diseases] Diverticulitis
DEFINITION
The term diverticular disease comes from the Latin word diverticulum which means a "small diversion from the normal path". The colon or large intestine is that part of the intestinal tract which stores residue for elimination from the body. The small blood vessels which supply blood to the large intestine or colon do so by penetrating the muscle coat of the colon thereby producing a small defect through which the inner lining can protrude or herniate out. These small protrusions are called diverticulae.
PREVALENCE
Diverticulae are more common in industrialized countries than in third world countries. The reason given for this is the lack of bulk present in the diet of industrialized countries allowing muscle contractions to create localized areas of high pressure allowing diverticulae to form. The pressure created by muscle contractions of the left side(sigmoid) of the colon are considerably greater than those of the right side(ascending colon). This fact explains why diverticulae are more common on the left than right side of the colon. The prevalence of diverticulae clearly increases with age. While fairly uncommon during the first 4 decades of life they reach a frequency of 50% in people greater than 65 years old.
SYMPTOMS
DIAGNOSIS
Acute diverticulitis can frequently be diagnosed by a typical history and a physical exam showing impressive tenderness over the sigmoid colon which is located in the left lower part of the abdomen. If fever and a high white blood cell count are present this is confirmatory. A barium enema or a lower GI X-Ray are not useful helpful because the ruptured diverticulum is not seen on the X-Ray. A CAT scan or ultrasound of the lower abdomen can be very helpful in showing an inflammatory mass over the sigmoid colon.

The presence of the pouches themselves is called diverticulosis. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Small protruding sacs of the inner lining of the intestine (diverticulosis) can develop in any part of the intestine. They are most common in the colon. These sacs, called diverticula, occur with increasing frequency after the age of 40. When they become inflamed, the condition is known as diverticulitis.
Diverticulitis is an inflammatory condition where the area around the diverticula becomes irritated and attracts immune cells. It affects 10% to 20% of those with diverticula at some time. These areas can become infected. Risk factors are older age and history of diverticula or prior episodes of diverticulitis. Eating a high-fiber diet and avoiding seeds and nuts may prevent episodes.

7. Diverticulosis And Diverticulitis
Information and discussion concerning Diverticulosis and diverticulitis.
http://www.diagnosishealth.com/discussion1/tic.htm
About the author Dr. Minocha ( http://www.diagnosishealth.com/minocha.htm ) is the Professor of Medicine and Director, Division of Digestive Diseases at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS , and is the author of How to Stop Heartburn; Simple Ways to Heal Heartburn and Acid Reflux A diverticulum is a pouch or a pocket-like opening in the bowel wall, usually in the colon. The pouch is formed by the hernia of superficial layers of the colon through the weak points in the bowel wall. High fiber diet appears to protect against formation of such pouches. Diverticulitis or Diverticulosis : The occurrence of a diverticulum is known as diverticulosis. When a diverticulum becomes inflamed, the condition is known as diverticulitis. We frequently hear the phrase "I have diverticulitis". Generally, these patients are actually referring to diverticulosis and not diverticulitis. Diverticulosis is usually discovered incidentally during a barium x ray or lower GI scope exam. In fact, the majority of people will never be aware that they have this condition. Prevalence : Diverticulosis was uncommon (5-10% population) at the beginning of the 20 th century. One century later, the prevalence is 5% at the age of 40 years, 30% by 60 years and an overwhelming majority have it after the age of 85 years. It is mostly a disease of the affluent western society. In contrast, the prevalence in Asia and Africa is less than one percent. The difference in geographic distribution is attributed to differences in dietary fiber intake.

    Diverticulitis What is Diverticulitis?
    Diverticula are small pockets or projections that are bumped out from the colon. They happen very slowly over a long period of time. They occur at different points of the bowel wall where there is weakness because of pressure exerted inside the colon. Most of this occurs on the left lower side of the bowel called the sigmoid colon. It usually appears later in life but it can be seen in people in their early thirties. The disease seems to be related to the fiber content of the diet. Generally we need at least 20 to 30 grams of fiber in our diet. What are the symptoms of diverticulosis
    and diverticulitis ?
    Generally diverticulosis causes no symptoms. However, diverticulitis occurs when the diverticula become infected and filled with bacteria. They can cause inflammation which can cause discomfort or pain in the left lower abdomen. This can be quite severe and can develop into an abscess in some cases. Treatment requires antibiotics and bowel rest. Occasionally surgery is indicated or hospitalization. If a diverticulum ruptures it can bleed, sometimes quite rapidly, but generally the bleeding stops on its own and in more than 80% of cases surgery is not indicated. Very rarely the diverticulum can perforate which can lead to a very serious case of peritonitis. This requires immediate surgical attention.

    Diverticulitis
    Diverticulitis (die-ver-tick-you-lie-tis) is a condition in which small pouches that can form in the walls of the intestine, the diverticula (die-ver-tick-you-la), become inflamed. This inflammation may affect one or many of the diverticula along the colon, and the attacks tend to be recurrent. Symptoms are usually mild and may consist of abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Sometimes severe attacks occur consisting of intense abdominal pain and fever. Diverticulitis is associated with a low fiber diet; therefore, a high fiber diet may help to prevent this condition. Depending on the severity of the attacks, a change in diet, antibiotics, and bed rest may be used to ease the symptoms. For more information about diverticulitis, contact your health care provider.

    Healthcare Professional Version
    Judy Hentges RN Diverticula What is it? The incidence of diverticular disease has risen in the twentieth century largely because of the reduced intake of dietary fiber. The muscles of the intestinal wall hypertrophy, allowing herniations of the mucosa and submucosa through this muscular coat of the colon. Hemorrhage may result if the vessels supplying the musculature are involved in the area of the diverticula Diverticular disease of the colon may range from mild irregularities in defecation to severe bleeding and the consequences of severe intra-abdominal inflammation. Signs and Symptoms The majority of people with diverticula are asymptomatic. Some have symptoms such as intermittent abdominal pain, bloating, excessive flatulence, irregular stools, nausea, anorexia, passage of pellet-like stools, and attacks of diarrhea. More severe symptoms include rectal bleeding. Diagnosis Diagnosis is most often made with barium enema and colonoscopy. Treatment The principle treatment revolves around a high fiber diet. The patient should avoid foods like seeds, nuts and popcorn. The use of bulk forming agents is helpful in adding to the 20 or 30 grams of fiber needed per day.

    Diverticulitis of the Colon
    Definition
    Colonic diverticuli are mucosal outpouchings that usually appear with aging(50% of people beyond 60 will develop it),mainly in the left colon,leading to what we call diverticular disease. Formerly, this condition was largely misanderstood, since only the inflamation of these structures were taught to cause clinical manifestations( diverticulitis), something like a "left-sided acute appendicitis". Nowadays, we do already know that diverticula, even in the abscence of inflamation may cause pain with a cramping pattern in the lower abdomen that may sometimes be continual. However, most of people who has colonic diverticula will never develop any clinical manifestation. In these cases the diverticuli are found in necropsy or radiologic studies for other reasons. Recently, there has been an increase in the incidence of divertilitis, but this was atributted to the aging of the population.
    Pathology
    In general, there is an hipertrophy in the musculature of diseased segments. The longitudinal taenias are also proeminent, and little dilations of 0.5-1.0cm can be seen in their margins. The perforation of the diveticula initiate the inflamatory process. Iniatially, inflamation spreads locally to pericolic fat, resulting in peridiverticulitis. Lately, dissemination to peritoneum is the rule, leading to peritonitis and maybe acute abdomen or abscess or fistulas, as we will see in greater details later. With time fibrotic stricture of the colon may develop.
