Diverticulitis occurs when pockets in the wall of the intestine (diverticula) become inflamed or infected. It is thought that these pouches appear as we grow older, and are probably the result of eating a diet low in fibre.
Low fibre diets can cause constipation, this increased pressure in the colon results in the formation of pouches; if pouches become infected it will cause diverticulitis.
