The other person is confusing diverticula with fistula.
A fistula is an abnormal connection. The bowel can form an abnormal connection with the skin (colo/ enterocutaneous fistula), the bladder (colovesicular) and vagina (in females only obviously, rectovaginal fistula).
Patients with fistulas require surgery to get rid of the abnormal connection.
These patients may be malnourished due to this condition, ensure can help supplement these nutrients and provide protein. However in some situations patients with intestinal fistulas are placed NPO (no food by mouth).

Fistula are pockets formed in tissues,
Ensure is a nutrient rich drink, usually given to people that
have a difficult time eating,
One doesn't have anything to do with the other, except that
fistula can be formed by a poor diet lacking in fibre. And
l don't believe there is significant amounts of fibre in Ensure,.
