Are diverticulitis and campylobacter jejune a similar thing?

Answer:

Diverticulitis is the inflammation of pouches on the outside of the colon that are thought to be formed by a lack of fibre causing increased pressures inside the colon. It requires hospitalisation, nil by mouth, IV antibiotics and sometimes surgery.

However, campylobacter jejune is a common species of bacterial intestinal flora that is a major cause of gastroenteritis (stomach flu).
