Causes of Diverticulitis
Diverticulitis is caused when the colon is subjected to excessive pressure. Sigmoid colon is the smallest part of the large intestine and is therefore understood to be under maximum pressure. The most well known reason for developing diverticulitis is a lack of non-soluble dietary fiber. Research has revealed that popcorn, corn and nuts help reduce the occurrence of diverticulitis in adult males.
