Diverticulitis usually affects the colon   I would like to point out that we are not Doctors

pain and tenderness (usually in the lower part of abdomen) and fever are the typical symptoms.

the diagnosis is usually confirmed by a CT scan, often followed later by colonoscopy

People with mild symptoms are treated with rest, a liquid diet, and oral antibiotics, whereres those with sever symptoms are hospitlized for treatment with intravenous antibiotics and sometimes surgery   If You have any problems please see your Doctor

Diverticulosis is a condition that develops when pouches form in the wall of the colon.  I was told that sunflower seeds can cause diverticulosis.
