Diverticulosis and diverticulitis sound alike but are very different conditions—and knowing the difference is key to protecting your digestive health. In this episode, host Jacqueline Gaulin welcomes Dr. Lisa Strate, Professor and Chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Wisconsin, and one of the nation’s leading experts in diverticular disease. Together, they clear up common questions and misconceptions about diverticulosis and diverticulitis, including:
-
What causes these conditions and who is most at risk
-
The symptoms and warning signs patients should watch for
-
Whether it’s possible to have one without the other
-
How diet and lifestyle affect treatment and prevention
This episode is produced in collaboration with the American College of Gastroenterology’s Patient Care Committee.
