May have pain: Diverticulosis is a condition where you have small outpouchings or pockets that develop along the colon (large intestine). This is very common as adults age. They may cause no symptoms. Sometimes if they get inflamed you may have abdominal pain or even an abscess or perforation. If you have severe pain, see doctor at once. Routine exercise and a high-fiber diet help avoid problems.
