Guest guest Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 If you think of the colon as a muscle, think of fiber as weights. Most folks make the mistake of STARTING with high fiber with diverticulosis. This is too heavy of lifting for a flabby colon... Start low fiber and gradually exercise that muscle to a higher and higher fiber content for better " intestinal fitness " If you go very high fiber all at once, and everything stops moving, you actually get MORE bloating and more diverticuli, " stretch marks " in the colon. If you look at a healthy colon it kinda looks like a " six pack " (if you squint) Think of it as " personal training from ileus to anus " (the world's most repulsive jingle Michal Hogan, RD, LD, CLT NUTRITIONRESULTS.COM Helping patients, doctors and dietitians with the serious business of helping folks with IBS, fibromyalgia, migraine and other effects of delayed food hypersensitivities In a message dated 6/14/2011 9:53:51 A.M.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm assuming that someone who has diverticulitis is most likely going to be bedbound until they recover from the inflammation, but when there is no inflammation present the condition is simply referred to as diverticulosis. Is this correct? Thanks again everyone. > Perfect Holly. > My understanding is that diverticulitis can be so severe that clear liquids > are ordered until infection is abated but diverticulosis is just a high > fiber diet now even allowing seeds and nuts (previously taken out).
