Seeds and stuffs like that are no longer considered potencial causes of obstruction of diverticula and consequently diverticulites.

think I've been giving my tuition money to the wrong people. I've learned more from you than any of my college professors. Thank you!!!

wow! I've had 4 flare ups now with severe bleeding and blood transfustions and iron iv therapy. I had so many questions and usually the response is just eat more fiber! This is a great eye opener and answers many questions and I feel that I can better discuss this with my doctors. I'm 62 and do not want to get a colospomy bag! Thank you

You are a legend buddy, I recently had an MRI scan to monitor my low level prostate cancer and at the end of the report a note was added that diverticular disease (I think that was how it was worded) was present. That was it, no other explanation. I have Googled it but the issue has been at the back of my mind, I'm feeling uncomfortable not knowing if this is some form of other type of cancer. I have no known symptoms btw.
I watched your video right through, its fascinating and my mind is completely at rest. Mine I believe is due to age (over 60) and my high fiber diet is probably the reason that I have no symptoms. Thankyou for making this video. I can sleep better now.

Pathophysiology is out dated, actually most of the content is outdated. Love your tutorials though ❤️ your teaching style is amazing

If I have Diverticula of Diverticulim .Large Granlar Lymphcytic leukemia with low White count and Red and Anemic. They thought I had cyst on pancreas but now it is this Diverticula of Diverticulum. Plus, Barretts Esophagus, that they will watch every three years now. So have been quite worried about it all. You have explained much more to me than anyone at least about this much of it. I am 75 yrs old and was losing wt quicker than I should and they were worried. But now it slowed again. I do need to loose more and loved how it came off without me doing anything. Just glad all is alright though and no cancer now. Guess they wil just watch it all. I will keep eyes open for any signs of bleeding etc as the Gastroenterologist did mention these symptoms too.

I had none of the precursors to diverticulosis, but I have diverticulosis. My theory is it was somehow caused by my significant use of artificial sweeteners when the world was still unaware how unhealthy those are. I was eating a low carb/low sugar diet. I would love a scientist to study whether significant use of artificial sweeteners can contribute to diverticulosis.

Thank you so very much for the wonderful explanation of this disease. I have seen several doctors and not one explained this disease like you.

This video is bloody good information , so please take note , I personally was diagnosed with Divericular last year , I then was diagnosed with Diverticoloses , and Diverticulites in April 20/24 , after I had an infection . So what I did I changed my Diet , I now only eat fish , potatoes , carrots,broccoli,and green beans . I have an Apple first thing in the morning , and I have a chicken breast sandwich with brown bread last thing at night , it’s now just over 4 months and I haven’t had anymore infections or flare ups , so I recommend a high fibre diet . I have lost two stone , and I feel much more healthier , and everyone tells me I look really good . But for me I now I look really good , I can move a lot quicker , and I don’t have pain in my stomach or cramps anymore . So i used to be a couch potatoe , but now I’m always moving about , because I believe sitting down for more than a couple of hours causes pressure in your bowel and this brings on your diverticulitis.

I had meckels diverticulitis when I was 11. I woke up with insanely painful stomach pain that lasted about 5 hours before my mom and dad took me to the hospital. The doctors thought I had appendicitis so they scheduled me for surgery in the morning. They didn't realize my appendix was fine and that my meckels ruptured untill they opened me up and I had to have some small intestine cut out and resected. I have like an 8 inch scar on my right stomach and they basically had to leave the wound open and pack it everyday. I was in the hospital for two and a half weeks. I was discharged and I was home for only one day before I had to go back to the hospital because I had a fever and infection. I was there for another week lol. I have a lot of permanent stomach issues from it. And the first year or so after was horrible.
