Hello,
Diverticulitus is a disease, connected to digestion. I’ll try to be illustrative as much as possible: many people, especially people, older than 40, have small pouches in their colons and those pouches bulge outward through weak spots. These pouches are called diverticula and the condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis. There are no known symptoms that indicate diverticulitus, perhaps the only one is abdominal pain. As I said, diverticulitus is most common with people above age of 40.
