Diverticular disease and diverticulitis
Diverticular disease occurs when small pouches develop in the wall of the colon. When these pouches become inflamed or infected, it is known as diverticulitis. Dr. Federica Fabris focuses on a comprehensive approach—combining dietary education with medical management—to help you manage symptoms and reduce the risk of future complications.
What is the difference between these conditions?
Diverticulosis is the presence of small pouches in the colon, while diverticulitis occurs when those pouches become painfully inflamed.
How do we accurately diagnose it?
Dr. Fabris uses clinical evaluations and advanced imaging or colonoscopy to assess the severity of the pouches and check for inflammation.
What are the common symptoms of a flare-up?
Signs of diverticulitis include sharp pain in the lower left abdomen, fever, nausea, and noticeable changes in your regular bowel habits.
How are these conditions managed?
Management ranges from high-fiber dietary plans for prevention to targeted antibiotics and liquid diets during acute inflammatory flare-ups.
