It's not a 'disease', it is the result of life-long bad eating habits. It is when the colon (and small intestine) develops striations and pockets, from trying to expel the garbage we eat every day. The only way to 'cure' it is to make a major lifestyle change, and do some serious internal cleansing - and even then, there is no quick fix. It will take time, but the worst of the symptoms can be relieved fairly quickly. -- Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 5 yrs ago she had been feeling lousy for a long time with low grade fever. The doc put her in the hospital said she had diverticulitis. Took IV medication and was there about 3 wks. She felt good for awhile, then back to doc. Drugs by mouth this time. This happened several times. The last time the pills lasted 6 days and cost $77. She counldn't afford them so ask me if I would pay. I suggested she do something else which she didn't like but she did agree to try. Per Jethro Kloss...2 parts goldenseal 1 part myrrh and some cayenne pepper mixed in. We made up the capsules and in 2 days she felt much better. She was so impressed she would come to my house and make her own. She hasn't had any problem since BUT she does watch her diet and drink lots of water.

They are the last part of the colon to be cleaned out because they are small and they are off the beaten track, so to say, and even after they are cleaned out they themselves, their abberant shape, remain. So if one has these pockets, throughout one's life, one would have to be extra careful to avoid toxic build-up, because it will easily become trapped in these pockets. Unlike sigmoid or prolapsed colon or other distortions of the general shape of the colon which can return to normal after thorough cleansing and exercise, the diverticulae do remain. This unpleasant news I learned from Trisha Rossi, the director of the northeastern U.S. region of the International Colonic Therapists Association.

No one who is pregnant should futz around with ANY of these herbal and other holistic rememdies unless they are working with an EXTREMELY competent holistic practitioner or really have the experience and capacity to do the proper research on their own. We adults have a lot of latitude for experimentation and are quite resilient but this is not the case for the developing fetus, which needs certain things at certain times, and can be seriously damaged by others.

I wouldn't rely too much on what ANYONE says. Imho, the Creator of the universe has given us some wonderful mechanisms in our bodies, and there are simply too many documented cases of 'the impossible' happening to say that 'they will remain'. 90% of ANY battle is IN YOUR MIND - win that one, and walk the walk, and the rest will take care of itself. Dr Schulze has some formulas for rebuilding the colon, but the bottom line - and my main point - is that you people don't just 'catch' diverticulitus, or most any other 'disease' for that matter, they EARN them, and if they want to get well, they must earn that too. -- Marcus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, KJ, but I'm sorry to say that this person is not into cleansing at all and mostly likely will not be doing any searches.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 , Diverticulitis can make you really sick (as I'm sure you know). One of my co-workers had it, and my uncle has had it just recently. Diverticulitis is an infection of the pouches and must be treated by antibiotics. I think you have to eat a soft food diet for a little while. Please, please go to a regular doctor. And, let us know how you're doing.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 The ER diet will help resolve any digestive system health problem. One of the main aspects of the diet is that it is designed to keep the digestive system healthy and functioning properly. Dr. D believes that digestive system health is key to total health. For instance, nutrients are absorbed, or not absorbed, through the digestive system. I have also read that 55% of the immune system is centered in the digestive system. For gallbladder problems do a gallbadder/liver flush! This is something Heidi, on Dr. D's website highly recommends. She convinced me to try it and I didn't have any obvious gallbadder problems. I have now done 8 flushes since Oct. I am amazed at all the stones that I have passed that were previously plugging up my liver and gallbadder! Here are some sites for information: http://www.curezone.com http://www.sensiblehealth.com Your friends have gotten a wake up call. They need to heed it and start taking care of their health including eating right for their type and exercising. They are young if they start now they can look forward to a long and healthy life. I wish you friends goodluck. Don St. > Asking for a friend, is not eating the blood type diet for an O a cause of > diverticulitis?

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Lack of fiber in the diet is the usual culprit mentioned for in diverticulosis/itis.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Just for the general knowledge of those on this listserve: There appears to be some some confusion between diverticulosis and diverticulitis. Just to clarify: Diverticulosis is defined as the condition of having diverticuli. If I perform a colonoscopy and see diverticula (small outpoucthings of mucosa) -- one of the diagnoses is automatically diverticulosis. They are quite commonly entirely non-symptomatic. On the other hand diverticulitis is defined as an inflammation of one or more diverticula. Basically, symptomatic diverticula is diverticulitis. While the research on this topic is poor, it is suspected that the reason that some people have problems with nuts and berries (and even popcorn) is that some of the undigested food matter gets lodged in the diverticuli. This is not suspected to be due to allergy. How to avoid diverticulitis? High fiber diet to keep bowels soft, plenty of water, and avoidance of known problematic foods. Best of luck!

High fiber diet to keep bowels soft, plenty of water, and avoidance of known problematic foods. Lack of physical exercise is also a known risk factor for developing diverticula. Also - it is diverticulosis that causes the massive lower GI bleeds (like 1000 ml plus). Bleeding from diverticula (diverticulosis) is usually brief and painless (not always a large amount) and tends to recur. Bleeding from diverticulitis is less common - and is markedly painful. The blooeding of diverticula is usually bright red - not black. Anglen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I don't have diverticulitis but have had lots of lower GI stuff that docs couldn't figure out. All this started around age 25 and eventually, after all the testing, they just said I have Irritable Bowel but I think that was just a cop out and a way of them saying " we don't know " . (I love doctors that are willing to admit they don't know - to me that is a sign of honesty and my GI doc is not my doc anymore to say the least!) I take meds for acid reflux which seems to be pretty common and strangely enough alot of my lower GI stuff disappeared after I got my trach. Believe me, no one can figure that one out! I am just known as the mystery woman whose chart often says anything can happen! :oP At 34 I have alot of signs of older age such as menopause symptoms which I have just chalked up to the idea that those of us with consist health issues just kind of age quicker.

My doctor told me however it wasn't anything I did, just happened randomly. I am on two antibiotics and a pain med. I hardly get sick but when I do it's the most random stuff like a kidney stone or this. A year ago I had pneumonia! I consider myself healthy though, great weight and blood pressure, don't really eat junk food anymore, but I'm sure I could increase the grains and veggies more than what I do. It is painful and I feel like one of those little african kids with the big stomachs if I had to use an analogy. I do have to say I went to an urgent care clinic yesterday and the doctors assistant took my blood and omg, if I could take him with me everytime I went to have blood taken that would be great. He got one tube from one arm one prick and the second tube from the other arm one prick only!! It's been years since it only took two times. He's my age and was hilarious, he was having serious convos with my vains lol. - __________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 > > Hello Bee. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis with gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The doctors sent me home with two antibiotics. I don't want to take them but I'm concerned because I know that this disease can be really bad if it doesn't heal. Do you think I really need these or is there a better remedy? I'm concerned about what's in those pockets and how to get it out. @@@ Hi Peggy @@@ The doctors sent you home and you don't have to take it. It might help initally and then make you worse. There is a better way to go, (your body will heal itself) and you are here now and read all that Bee has compiled. > > As an aside, they gave me dietary recommendations which included whole wheat bread and pasta. When I told the doctor that I'm intolerant to gluten he just said " really? " , like he'd never heard of that before. He was a young resident doctor at the emergency room. I'm still in disbelief that they don't know these things! I hated to have to go there as I have a real distrust of all things allopathic but I was afraid that the excruciating pain came from my ovaries. @@@ Shall I start with doctors this early in the morning? I don't know how they keep up the ruse. Believe very little they tell you. If they give you the time of day I would check another source. I would throw the bread and pasta as far as I can throw them. Have you noticed the nutrients in them? I used to work in a flour mill and after we ground all the good stuff out, (so it could sit on a shelf for years) we had to add chemical vitamins back in to comply with government orders. When we had a leak in the pipes we used to mix the flour with water and seal up the hole. It's good for that. > > I was not able to find anything in the files pertaining to diverticulitis but I'm not very good at navigating. @@@ It is another word for bad food consumption.
