The "Treatment" section should be updated with more up-to-date opinions, for instance according to http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/1013634026.html (and some other sites as well), the opinion that popcorn, seeds, nuts, etc. are to be avoided has come under question.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.156.242.39 (talkcontribs)

[edit] Acronym use.

I believe the first use of an acronym in an article should define what it means. NIDDK isn't defined, only referenced in the references section. This leaves the reader with no idea what is being talked about.

I'm pretty sure diverticulosis/ diverticular disease is diagnosed by colonoscopy. Not Stool test.
