What is diverticulosis and what are the symptoms?
Diverticula are sacs, pouches or pockets which can form in the walls of the colon. Most often these develop as a result of straining during a bowel movement. Frequent constipation can lead to straining which weakens the colon wall allowing the pockets to form.
Sometimes there may be no symptoms associated with diverticulosis and other times you may experience cramping, bloating, diarrhea and continued constipation.
Diverticulosis itself is the rupturing of the sacs, this can be life-threatening. Cleansing the colon on a regular routine basis helps to keep the colon wall strong and healthy.
