A member asked:
Do the number of diverticulosis pouches (not diverticulitis) make a different in the prognosis or the possibility of infection in the future? like one pouch vs several?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, generally people do not know how many diverticula they have. If you eat a lot of fiber and hydrate well, you would like we never have a problem from the diverticulosis.
