| Information on diet for those with diverticulitis. |
| Possible causes include inflammatory bowel disease or an infection in the colon known as diverticulitis. |
| Food sensitive colitis should be considered in infants and ischaemic colitis, diverticulitis, and colonic tumours in adults. |
| Colonoscopy revealed diverticulitis and several benign polyps, which were excised. |
| If the diverticulitis is not severe, treatment will be with painkillers, antibiotics, laxatives and dietary advice. |
| It can also be used as adjunctive therapy in organic gastrointestinal conditions to relieve associated smooth muscle spasm such as in colitis, diverticulitis, regional enteritis, gastritis, and peptic ulcer. |
