Diverticular disease of the colon causes symptoms even in the absence of inflammatory diverticulitis. These symptoms vary from vague dyspepsia to severe colic which may lead to resection of the sigmoid for ‘diverticulitis’. This paper discusses the use of a high fibre diet, including miller's bran, in the treatment of uncomplicated diverticulosis. In the majority of cases this diet relieves symptoms and lessens the need for surgery in diverticular disease.
结肠憩室病即使在没有炎症性憩室炎的情况下也会引起症状。这些症状从模糊的消化不良到严重的绞痛不等，严重的绞痛可能会导致因“憩室炎”而切除乙状结肠。本文讨论了使用高纤维饮食，包括麦麸，来治疗无并发症的憩室病。在大多数情况下，这种饮食可以缓解症状，并减少憩室病患者的手术需求。
