Let me try to answer you without using fancy words.  it is the presence of pouchlike herniations through the muscular layer of the colon.  it may be caused by the modern, highly refined, low residue diet.  Most people have few symptoms except for occasional bleeding from the rectum.  Your doctor should perfrom various test to rule out anything more serious.  Hope this helps you.  Feel better!\nby the way, it is diverticulosis and itis.  diverticulitis is more severe and more dangerous.

The symptoms of both appendicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) are very similar...lover abdominal pain, fever, chills. Telling the difference is difficult. PID can cause problems. It scars the fallopian tubes, which can cause infertility. The disease is caused by an STD. Find out which one you have. Many are curable with antibiotics. Get this taken care of soon before if affects your ability to have kids.

It is a pouch that is found on the esophagus.  When we do a barium swallow in radiology, a diverticula looks like a bubble or out pouching of the esophagus.  Of course, you can have diverticula in the colon as well.  Most diverticula result from esophageal motility disorders. Although some patients are asymptomatic and diverticula are incidental findings, most patients are symptomatic. Dysphagia, regurgitation, and pain are common complaints, however, symptoms are often nonspecific and may be the result of an associated esophageal motility disorder.

I bet you're pregnant with a turkey...\n\nEither that or you're still digesting the ginormous servings that you scarfed yesterday.  Take some pepto bismal or Tums.  It'll go away in a day or two.

How weird, my mom just had this, and I had never heard about it before that. All the above is correct, but I just wanted to add that you ought to get it treated soon and change your diet around accordingly. My mom almost died from it, which is unheard of, and she ended up having a foot of intestine being taken out. Watch out! It can get pretty damn serious.

What is appendicitis?\nAppendicitis is inflammation of the appendix. It is thought that appendicitisbegins when the opening from the appendix into the cecum becomes blocked. Theblockage may be due to a build-up of thick mucus within the appendix or to stool that enters the appendix from the cecum. The mucus or stool hardens, becomes rock-like, and blocks the opening. This rock is called a fecalith (literally, arock of stool). At other times, the lymphatic tissue in the appendix may swell and block the appendix. Bacteria which normally are found within the appendixthen begin to invade (infect) the wall of the appendix. The body responds to theinvasion by mounting an attack on the bacteria, an attack called inflammation.(An alternative theory for the cause of appendicitis is an initial rupture ofthe appendix followed by spread of bacteria outside the appendix.. The cause ofsuch a rupture is unclear, but it may relate to changes that occur in thelymphatic tissue that line the wall of the appendix.)

Possibly.  It depends on how severe of a case you have and what is in the granola.  A severe case, I would advise against it.  A mild case, you could try a small amount and see how it affects you.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nfrom the website below: "Some professionals recommend restricting the following foods in diverticulosis diets: nuts, poppy seeds, caraway seeds, rye seeds, popcorn, crunchy peanut butter, corn, cucumber, and squash; as well as fruits and vegetables with seeds such as strawberries, figs, and tomatoes. However, there has never been any medical proof that these foods are injurious. Many gastroenterologists allow and even encourage consuming these foods, depending on an individual's tolerance."

i have I.B.S  aswell i drink coffee and tea i never knew it was bad for it if it causes your I.B.S to inflame then instead of cutting it out just weaken it alittle. orange juice is good for this problem and avoid starchy foods. buscopan tablets are good and eat very little but often.avoid sprouts and cabbage it creats more bloating and eat more white bread not whole meal this should help. good luck.
