It never goes away once the pockets (divertculi) have developed in the walls of the colon. In most cases it will continue to form new pockets as the years go on.

How terribly sad that Diverticulosis will never go away. I am fine for a week more or less, and then........surprise one day!!!!! I'm in terrible pain and it's returned! I'm afraid to leave my home not knowing when it will start. Why do I need to return to the doctor if it will never go away??
