Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 , Are you talking about a disease that causes sores or pockets in your intestine? If you are I think you spell it diverticulitis. My Dad had it years ago and had to have a section of his intestine removed. I don't know if it is an auto immune diease.

Generally it is caused from a lack of fiber in one's diet although I think there is a tendency for certain folks to develop this (heridity?). I recently had a bout of rather nagging pain in my descending colon, which I suspected were diverticuli. A recent colonoscopy confirmed that I did have a mild case of diverticulosis. Yet I eat a diet fairly high in fiber and don't eat that much meat, so I think it may have a genetic base to it as well. Needless to say, I have stepped up my fiber and my water intake and am sure to get adequate magnesium. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Dear gang, I believe Diverticulitis is caused by eating animal products, particularly meat. It takes a long time to digest and rots in the bowel. The pockets of irritated bowel can then become inflamed and even infected. I have read many stories of people who have totally reversed the condition when they stop eating dead animals. Just my opinion.
