Abnormal pouches found in the colon are known as diverticula. These small, bulging sacs can form in the lining of the colon, often due to increased pressure within the intestinal wall. The condition of having these pouches is called diverticulosis, which can lead to complications such as diverticulitis if they become inflamed or infected. Risk factors include a low-fiber diet, age, and certain lifestyle choices.

Is diverticulosis and diverticulotis the same things?
No. The first, diverticulosis is a condition, or disease, if you will. The second, diverticulotis, is what happens when the condition becomes active. With diverticulosis, your colon has little pouches that extend from the sides. Think of it like a long tube with little pouches protruding ever so often. Those aren't normal, but many people have them, without ever having any issues. When Diverticulotis occurs, something gets into one of the pouches and causes an infection. The cure is antibiotics. For some people, this happens too often. After the first few incidents, a Dr. may determine that it's necessary to remove the affected part of the colon.
