Understanding Diverticulosis
What is Diverticulosis?
Diverticulosis is a condition that occurs when the innermost layer of the digestive tract pushes through weak spots in the outermost layer of the digestive tract – resulting in small pouches or pockets. Diverticula generally form in the lower part of the large intestine (i.e., colon). Some people who have diverticulosis only have several pouches on the left side of their colon, while others may have multiple pouches throughout their colon.
