| Possible causes include inflammatory bowel disease or an infection in the colon known as diverticulitis. |
| If the diverticulitis is not severe, treatment will be with painkillers, antibiotics, laxatives and dietary advice. |
| Colonoscopy revealed diverticulitis and several benign polyps, which were excised. |
| Food sensitive colitis should be considered in infants and ischaemic colitis, diverticulitis, and colonic tumours in adults. |
| I have seen positive tests in either leg in regional enteritis, and in the left leg in colonic diverticulitis. |
| Fortunately, most people with diverticulosis never develop diverticulitis. |
