Diverticular Disease Medical I.C.E. Card – In Case of Emergency
Diverticular Disease is a digestive condition where small bulges or sacs (diverticula) form in the lining of the colon. While some people have no symptoms, others may experience abdominal pain, bloating, or changes in bowel habits. In some cases, diverticula become inflamed or infected — known as diverticulitis — which can cause severe pain and fever. During emergencies, these symptoms may be confused with other abdominal conditions. This fully printed Diverticular Disease ICE (In Case of Emergency) card ensures your diagnosis is clearly communicated, allowing for quicker and more accurate treatment decisions.

What is Diverticular Disease?
Diverticular Disease occurs when small pockets (diverticula) form in the wall of the colon. These may cause symptoms such as cramps, constipation, or diarrhoea. When these pockets become inflamed or infected — a condition called diverticulitis — symptoms may include sharp abdominal pain, fever, or nausea. Treatment ranges from dietary changes to antibiotics, and in severe cases, surgery. An ICE card helps ensure that emergency responders are aware of your condition and can act quickly and appropriately.
