This paper describes the pathogenesis, aetiology, epidemiology and the historical emergence of diverticular disease as a clinical problem. The symptoms of the uncomplicated disease can be treated successfully and cheapli with a high fibre diet including miller's bran. The method of giving bran and its results are described. The adoption of a high fibre diet lessens the need for surgery in diverticulitis and the author believes that it could prevent the appearance of the condition in future generations.
