Diverticular disease is a disorder of the gastro-intestinal tract that particularly affects the colon. This disorder is characterised by the development of pockets or 'diverticula' within the colon wall. These diverticula tend to develop in the weak areas of the bowel, in particular, sites where a large number of bloods vessels penetrate the walls of the bowel and in areas that are generally narrower than most others- such as the sigmoid colon.

It is believed that the development of diverticula is a result of the adoption of western diets, which tend to be low in fibre.....

A recent study found that a combination of anti-inflammatory medicine and probiotic worked better in recovery from diverticulitis than either treatment alone (International Journal of Colorectal Disease, online March 28, 2007).
