Hello Jessie, I have diverticulosses as well except i had my colon burst on me,thats how they found out,diverticulitis is when your colon is inflamed,you have little pockets that can get clogged if you eat the wrong foods anything that dont digest good,sesame seeds,corn,any little seed or peanuts. You got to make sure if you eat out to order bottom buns on your burger because of seeds. I had a checker burger habit when i was pregnant with my 2 child and 6 weeks after having him my colon burst on me and i had to have it repaired so its very important to watch your diet. good luck to you
