Miami Holistic
CenterDiverticulosis
Diverticuli are sac-like herniations or pouches of the colon mucosal lining that bulge outward through weak spots in the colon wall. The wall of the colon begins to "blow out," like a tire with a hole in it. Diverticuli are blind sacs where the intestinal contents can group and become stagnant. Their presence is called diverticulosis. Up to half of all Americans between the ages of 50 and 80, and almost everyone over 80, have diverticulosis. The diverticuli often become infected with bacteria and parasites, causing pain, fever, and intestinal obstruction. They can perforate or bleed, and sometimes require surgery. This condition is called diverticulitis. Diverticulitis has been considered life threatening.
