The sigmoid colon refers to the lower portion of the colon. In people who have diverticulitis, the sigmoid colon walls will develop pouches which trap food. This causes intestinal pain and bowel problems.
Sacculations or pouches of the colon.
Diverticulosis develops when the diverticula form in the wall of the large intestine. The pouches don't cause symptoms, but they may become infected, and that is when the symptoms occur.
Sigmoid diverticular disease is a condition where small pouches form in the wall of the sigmoid colon (a part of the large intestine). These pouches, called diverticula, can become inflamed or infected, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits.

Yes, you can eat tomato seeds. They are completely indigestible and will pass completely through the digestive system unchanged. The only people that can have problems with tomato seeds (and other live seeds) are those with diverticulosis, when pouches (diverticula) form in the wall of the colon. Seeds can be caught in these pouches and in some cases germinate and begin growing inside you! If this happens the person will require surgery to remove the pouches with the plants inside them.
