What can be done about diverticulosis?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Medical treatment: Of diverticulosis coli is high fiber diet to stretch and relax the hypertrophic muscles of the wall of the colon, which caused the diverticula in the first place. Surgery is necessary when there is bleeding or perforation, or in some cases, intractability.

Diverticulosis.: Diverticulosis is manageable, not curable. Once the pockets in the colon form, they don't go back again. High fiber diet is the rule.
