CRD SUMMARY:

This review concluded that treatment with rifaximin plus fibre supplementation was effective in obtaining symptom relief and could prevent more complications at one year in patients with symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease. This conclusion reflects the results presented, but the small number of included trials and the potential for missed data mean that it should be interpreted with some caution.
