Diverticulitis?

Pretzel0

Is it common for people younger than 40 to get diverticulitis or colitis? I'm possibly going to have a colonoscopy done in the next few weeks and I'm only 26. My regular doctor mentioned that it could be diverticulitis.

Thanks for your answers. I guess I will have to wait until my GI appointment in 2 weeks to find out more. :)

Both is possible at your age. It's true that diverticulitis is more common in old people, but some young people reported diverticulitis on this forum already.

Colitis (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease) actually typical apears in young people around their twenties.
