Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Long-term constipation can lead to the development of protruding pouches along the colon wall, which is known as diverticulosis. Flatulence is the buildup of gas in the digestive system and is not related to this condition. PKU (phenylketonuria) is a genetic disorder that affects how the body processes a certain amino acid and has no relation to constipation or diverticulosis. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects blood sugar levels and is not directly related to the development of diverticulosis.
