Not possible or probable or actual:-)
Teff is not a small seed-like food. You cook it first, and it is like soft bread then, not like seeds. A couple giant muffins take 2.5 mins in the microwave, starting weith teff flour.
If you wish to make hamburger buns from whole teff, you need to first boil the teff grain to cook it, then cool it, shape it into buns and fry it.
The traditional bread from teff, (injera) is a sourdough type with a teff culture that needs to be "fed" regularly, the dough is then fried in a pan - and food is then served on top.
But anyway diverticula pouches are marble size and the old wives tale about corn, nuts and such getting stuck in there to cause the inflammation called diverticulitis, has been disproved in research.
(Teff would be too small, it is a hundreth the size of a wheat grain, so could not jam up a thing the size of a marble if it tried, even if you could get it through the digestive system undigested and raw somehow.)
Research has identified many (chemical) factors that cause the inflammation in the diverticla pouches that stick out from the large intestine (or other gut places) and likely the list will grow:
One is c-reactive protein - the higher it is the worse diverticulitis is.
Another is the type of intestinal bacteria - high numbers of Proteobacteria are culprits
It is also recorded that diverticulitis first was discovered after steel mills were invented.
The problem is to do with chemical-induced inflammation not physical blockage.
Namaste,
