A member asked:
Can a colon cleanse using super colon cleanse cause diverticulitis. ive been doing a cleanse and dr confirmed diverticulitis
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I am not aware: of any medical evidence that relates colon cleanse to acute diverticulitis. There is evidence that chronic laxative use can lead to colon motility problems, however.
