Summary
Symptomatic, uncomplicated diverticular disease (SUDD) of the large bowel is the most frequent form of diverticular disease experienced by a gastroenterologist. This entity is clinically characterized by intermittent or long-term abdominal pain, excess bowel gas, flatulence, and irregular bowel movement. In some patients, SUDD can occur after a flare-up of acute diverticulitis but in other patients it can cause diverticulitis. The current therapy comprises lifestyle changes in diet, namely the ingestion of fiber rich food and intermittent therapy with antibiotics. A promising therapy seems to be intermittent therapy with the nonabsorbable antibiotic rifaximin.
