    • Disease progression is not always linear; some individuals with diverticulosis lack prior irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the spectrum of diverticular disease.
    • To discuss diagnostic modalities and treatment strategies for diverticular disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of the natural history and clinical presentation of diverticular disease.
    • Discussion of established and emerging treatment options, including dietary modifications and surgical interventions.

    Main Results:

    • Irritable bowel syndrome symptoms and abdominal pain often respond to high-fiber diets and wheat bran supplementation.
