A member asked:
Does overnight oatmeal cause diverticulitis? please, need some answers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No connection with oatmeal. Diverticulitis is caused by blockage of small pockets in the colon which become infected. It is mostly related to chance if they get infected.Nothing actually prevents this from happening. Avoiding constipation is a common sense measure.

Constant colon inflammation but only when I eat meat. Doctors just say is diverticulitis but have no other answers about any treatment. Any suggestions as to what could cause this. Could it be a protein allergy that just suddenly developed 39yr male?
