Hello Lisa,

Good for you. Glad to hear that you took control of your situation and are now helping other women.

To our readers, I would like to point out that diverticulitis happens when feces get trapped in the pouches (diverticula). This allows bacteria to grow in the pouches. This can lead to inflammation or infection. A low fiber diet may play a role in causing diverticulitis.

Without fiber to add bulk to the stool, the colon has to work harder than normal to push the stool forward. The pressure from this may cause pouches to form in weak spots along the colon.

Diverticulitis happens when feces get trapped in the pouches (diverticula). This allows bacteria to grow in the pouches. This can lead to inflammation or infection.
