The presence of diverticula is called diverticulosis, while inflammation and infection of the diverticula is called diverticulitis (bulges in your colon wall). Diverticulosis is common but rarely causes any symptoms or requires medical attention. In cases of mild diverticulitis, antibiotics are typically all that is required for treatment. If complications arise, surgery will be required. Avoidance is easier with a high-fiber diet, regular exercise, and plenty of water.
