Diverticulosis/Diverticulitis
|
Diverticulosis is a condition that can occur when the walls of the colon become weakened, often due to long term constipation which exerts pressure on the walls of the gut. Diverticulosis refers to the formation of small pockets or pouches in weak points of the intestine; pouches known as 'diverticula'. Diverticulitis is the disease in which the diverticula (pouches) become inflammed or infected. Diverticulitis is much more common in older people.
Probiotics can help soothe the effects of diverticulitis, and certainly help to prevent diverticulosis developing into diverticulitis. For adults around the age of 60, we especially recommend For daily wellbeing, notably for its higher levels of Bifidobacterium.
