I just have to say that the comment made by Cory the RN above stating that...
Almost everyone who lives beyond age 60 will end up with diverticulosis. Diverticulitis is what diverticulosis is called when you are having a flare up or inflammation/infection. This is not true...Divericulitis is more then just an infection or flare up of the GI if you need to google a pic of what it look like you would know for sure that it cant be possible true that almost everyone 60's and older has this condition and I know plenty of old people being a elderly caregiver. And since I also have this condition and only 28 for the last 6 yrs I know for a fact its extremely painful and wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. And not proven what really cause this condition it can be anything from stress to low fiber diets. I eat healthy and it plenty of fiberous foods and dont like seeds so I know thats not the problem with me for each person its a different case..So maybe its stress for me but in any case I have been in the hospital several times pumped full of antibotics and very strong pain med's that I take a couple times a month.. now I have to get surgery to remove the infected part of intestine for the continue painful flare ups. And now being possible preganant and having this condition I would only advise any women with this complex case of events to see her GI and OB/GYN and seek a course of action to insure the mom's health which will help insure the health of the baby. Just please go seek medical advise from a specialist in these two fields.
