Uncle Chuckie, I have a friend who was just diagnosed with Diverticulitis. Through medication and a temporary high fiber diet the disease has subsided. She hasn't had any complications since but want to know what small changes she can make to insure a healthy digestive tract long term.
Diverticulitis starts with a disease called Diverticulosis which creates pouches in the colon and is very uncomfortable. Your friend needs to work on a lifestyle change. More so with their diet. A temporary high fiber diet is good, however a continuous fiber rich diet will aid in alleviating the problem full term. The first thing is to clean out the colon. In the blog I wrote in May about the colon will help. In that blog is a product by Natural Balance called Ultra Colon Clenz and use as directed. The first thing they should do in the morning when they wake up is to drink about 16oz of water on an empty stomach to lubricate your colon and the other organs. They need to have at least one bowel movement a day. They need to modify their diet. Cut out or down eating meats (more so red meats) and diary products. It takes about 4 days for the human body to digest meat so it sits in the colon and aids in most of all bodily problems. A healthy colon needs enzymes to stay healthy and they can found in raw fruits and vegetables. Fruit that have the highest amounts of enzymes are; pineapples (bromelain), papaya (papain), apples, grapefruit, figs, dates and tomatoes. Big green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, collared, turnip and mustard greens-cooked without meat) should be eaten 3-4 times a week. Also add parsley and cilantro which has chlorophyll and iron. Try to eliminate refined foods (white rice, white flour, white sugar, etc.) and processed foods. Drink plenty of water preferably alkaline, however distilled and spring will do.
Massages, yoga and deep breathing exercises will work wonders.
If you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.
