Barostat volumes in the rectum before the meal (Preprandial), and in the first and second 10 minute postprandial periods. There were no significant differences between the groups (healthy controls, asymptomatic diverticular disease (ADD) patients, and symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease (SUDD) patients). In all three groups, rectal volume decreased significantly after the meal (controls p = 0.006; ADD p = 0.016; SUDD p = 0.003).
