A member asked:
Will your stomach protrude with diverticulosis?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible if the: Colon is swollen which could narrow the passage way or lumen leading to a partial blockage and hence abdominal swelling. This would usually occur with diverticulitis not diverticulosis.

No.: In all actuality, diverticuli are actually very small and would not make your stomach protrude.
