Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis - MedlinePlus

Diverticula are small pouches that bulge outward through the colon, or large intestine. If you have these pouches, you have a condition called diverticulosis. It becomes more common as people age. About half of all people over age 60 have it. Doctors believe the main cause is a low-fiber diet.

What Is Diverticulitis? - Healthline

Diverticula are bulging sacs that can appear in the lining of your large intestine. The condition is often referred to as diverticulosis. Diverticulitis occurs when these sacs get acutely infected or inflamed.

Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis - Better Health

Diverticulosis occurs when small defects in the muscle of the wall of the large intestine or colon allow small pockets or pouches (diverticula) to form. Diverticulitis is infection or inflammation of these abnormal pouches. Together, these conditions are called diverticular disease.
