Would the presence of diverticulosis change your dose constraint for large bowel?

Is diverticulosis in large bowel adjacent to a target a contraindication for SBRT? How would you manage?

I have not changed the dose constraint for large bowel with or without diverticulosis. I use 0.5 cc to 33 Gy as my dose constraint, and I would make sure the 'tics are included in the colon volume.
