Diveticulitis

Were you looking for information about Diverticulitis? Diveticulitis is a common misspelling of diverticulitis.
 
Diverticulitis is a condition so-named because it occurs as a result of pouches in the colon (called diverticula) becoming inflamed. While the causes of this inflammation are not fully understood, healthcare providers believe it may occur when bacteria or stool is caught in the diverticula. A high-fiber diet is often the only treatment needed.
