Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I was diagnosed with diverticulitis with gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The doctors sent me home with two antibiotics.

" , like he'd never heard of that before. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Peggy When I had an attack of diverticulitis I was on a very high fiber diet, whole wheat bread, raw veggies and beans. High fiber does NOT correct this. Try Bee's egg drink and lots of bone broth soup, these are easy to digest, and good for you. And if you add lots of garlic in your soup that should take care of any infection. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but diverticulitis was extermely painful for me so I sure hope you feel better!

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 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. > @@@ Neal > > > Hi to Neal and group, I used to make all kinds of things with white bread. You just wad it up, and stick it in a mold.

We use to pull off a piece and put it in our mouths and moisten it and then place the ball around our fish hooks. Caught alot of unhealthy fish that way.

Antibiotics won't help your diverticulitis, since killing off the bacteria isn't going to heal those pockets in your bowels, and as you know antibiotics will increase candida overgrowth. The best antibiotic is unrefined coconut oil which, along with butter will help rebuild and strengthen the intestines; normally the lining of the intestines regenerates every 4 days, so once you can get the right combination of good fats and allow time for your bowels to settle down your body is well-equipped to rebuild your intestines. Don't be concerned about killing off the bacteria, and instead concentrate on nutrients, which are what heals the body. I suggest you start on an all liquid diet, including bone broths, Bee's Egg Drink, raw ginger tea, and soup for 3 days. Then gradually add pureed (blended) foods over the next 2 days and stay on liquid and pureed foods until your bowels settle down. Notes: 1) Only include foods that are on my diet; definitely not any grains or pasta, or high fibre foods which are very hard on the intestines - see these articles about fibre: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu3_2_2.php 2) Cook all vegetables really well like this article recommends: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/veg3.php 3) Only use ground meats cooked in non-chlorinated water. 4) Have 2 mugs of mineral-rich bone broth every day - ensure you make it right - here's the recipe: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/recipes/recipe21.php 5) Drink 1 cup of raw ginger tea between meals 3 times a day. 5) Take all supplements. Keep me posted on how you are doing. All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thank you Bee. I haven't gotten the antibiotic prescription filled, in spite of pressure from family/friends. Finally, I told everyone I started taking them just to get them off my back. I know they are dangerous but I was so afraid of the consequences of the infection in those sacs erupting into my body. I knew you would advise against. When I get some free time, I will set up a consultation with you. You are a savior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Vicky, diverticulitis is not caused by low fiber; it's caused by chronic gut inflammation. Low fiber can assist the development of this " disease " but bowel dysbiosis/candida is the cause, the irritation's source, and the trigger may well be antibiotics. When you take antibiotics you should also take measures to avoid dysbiosis, and this is where the fiber comes in. Duncan > > I got a preliminary dx of diverticulitis... I eat fruit and vegetables a lot so I'm not sure it's from low fiber, as I've read, but then they really don't know why it happens... is it from candida? Though I'm in pain they won't give me any treatment til tests are back... I think antibiotics are in order. Anyone else have diverticulitis? > > Vicky > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Thanks. So the low fiber thing isn't true--it didn't sound like it would be true--just something doctors say to sound like they know something. Do you have some specific suggestions, or Web sites or books that you recommend? I have Leaky Gut so is it safe to take fiber? From what I've read, it helps at first but then makes the gut leakier. I've been fighting dysbiosis via probiotics and diet for a long time and was feeling much better and this is a setback. Also, several years ago I had this same pain (but only in some areas, it's my whole trunk now) and that was before I took long-term antibiotics. I had taken antibiotics previously but not for years. So I think I've had this issue for a while. Can Lyme alone cause dysbiosis? It seems to be something that's associated with Lyme but I don't know if that's because of antibiotic treatment or the illness itself. Vicky > > > > I got a preliminary dx of diverticulitis...

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Vicky, fiber is considered to be essential to correct bowel ecology. Soluble prebiotic fiber especially, because it feeds the probiotics. Leaky gut arises primarily from irritants that are more concentrated in the absence of the probiotics being active. Activate probiotics with prebiotics. Of the prebiotics, inulin is the best. Lyme alone doesn't cause dysbiosis; lack of dietary fiber, particularly inulin, does.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Vicky I have diverticulosis( confirmed with colonoscopy nad cat scan) and have had several attacks, with the result of having to take antibiotics which throws you back on the candida. I do not eat anything with seeds, take them out of the tomatoes etc. Edy > > I got a preliminary dx of diverticulitis...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi, I got the CT scan back, he said there is no diverticulitis but my uterus is " a little bulky. " (??) I don't believe that the whole thing is not digestive. Will send the scan results to more doctors incl GYN. The GI doc said he could do an endoscopy. I'm now a bit better, but I'm mystified. I know eating nuts was making it worse. Doctors aren't trained to recognize leaky gut symptoms, so maybe that's what it is.
