Barostat volumes in the sigmoid colon before the meal (Preprandial), and in the first and second 10 minute postprandial periods. Differences between the groups failed to reach statistical significance. In all three groups (healthy controls, asymptomatic diverticular disease (ADD) patients, and symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease (SUDD) patients) sigmoid volumes decreased significantly after the meal (controls p = 0.001; ADD p = 0.001; SUDD p = 0.004).
