Diverticulitis Symptoms and
Natural Treatments
Multiple diverticula are small pouches that develop in weakened
areas of the large intestine. They usually do not cause any
discomfort unless they become infected and inflamed, which causes
an irritation in the bowels. Abdominal pain and tenderness result,
usually in the lower left side. If severe, fever, spasms, bleeding,
anemia, and diarrhea
alternating with constipation
are also present. In some cases, the diverticula grow large.
Diverticulitis usually occurs after age forty as a result of
weakened tissue and pressure against the intestinal walls due
to aging. Inflammation occurs when these pockets fill with matter.
As in all diseases of the digestive tract, diet is largely responsible
for the state of the intestinal tissues and for inflammation.
A fiber-free diet full of sweets and refined foods, including
white flour, white pasta, and white rice, is low in nutrients
and particularly hard on the digestive tract. Fresh raw vegetables
are rich in fiber and should be a main constituent of every
diet in place of fast food, processed, canned, or frozen foods.
Hard stools and constipation from lack of fiber cause constant
pressure against the colon walls and weaken intestinal tissue.
A full-spectrum
probiotic is highly recommended to reestablish the natural
bacteria in the bowels that exist to fend off illness.* They
are also needed to produce several B
Vitamins, which are important for digestion and are often
missing in people with diverticulitis. Whole psyllium
(husk, seed, embryo, and endosperm) is considered the best fiber
choice.* So using a concentrated product (80% whole psyllium
with herbs to support the gastrointestinal tract) will yield
best results. A psyllium seed husk complex cleanses the intestinal
tract, protects the colon and circulatory system (cholesterol
lowering) and builds colon cells.
