basically, the lining of the intestines develops little tiny bubble shaped pockets called diverticules that materials get stuck in. So instead of the food just passing through the intestines, bits of food get trapped in these pockets, and can cause irritation and infections.
This is made worse if you eat foods with little seeds or other hard to digest bits. Raspberries, strawberries, chia seeds, can all cause problems because of the tiny seeds. So can corn, beans, or other foods that don’t get fully digested.
