Natural Diverticulitis Remedies

The intestine is composed of pouches, also known as diverticula. When one or more diverticula become inflamed, the condition diverticulitis occurs. Diverticulitis usually occurs in the large intestine.

Diverticulitis is caused when foods become stuck and are not eliminated. The intestinal lining may eventually protrude through the muscular wall of the bowel, and may possibly spread to the abdominal lining (peritoneum). These protrusions, known as fistulas, resemble “root-like” indentations.

When untreated, sores can spread through the abdominal lining, and peritonitis (inflammation of the abdomen) may occur. This occurrence can be lethal due to the high possibility that infection can spread to the blood, create sepsis, and circulate throughout the body.

Signs and symptoms of diverticulitis don’t often appear until the disease has progressed. When symptoms do appear they may include abdominal pain especially on the left side after eating meals, rectal bleeding or blood in stools, fever, nausea, vomiting, and bowel irregularities such as constipation or diarrhea, gas, or bloating.

Causes or contributors of diverticulitis include irregular or insufficient movement of waste through the colon (constipation), changes in intestinal pressure, unbalanced diet, age, and excess weight on the body.

Modern medicine provides examinations, drugs such as antibiotics, antispasmodics, and analgesics, and finally surgery to remove part of the colon; mostly they “band-aid” the symptoms of diverticulitis to make them feel better.

From the natural perspective, diverticulitis may be managed through dietary improvements and physical activity. Maximizing your GI tract everyday with proper nourishment and regular bowel habits is key in preventing developing diverticulitis. Any foods that make you feel sluggish or cause intestinal problems (gas, bloating, and indigestion) are most likely not supporting your colon health.

Prevention of Diverticulitis:

Eliminate tobacco, alcohol, coffee, black tea, sodas which are high in chemicals, and fast foods which are high calorie and low nutrition with no fiber. Add whole fruits and vegetables which are high in fiber, and other fibers. Increase your water intake between meals.

Minimize extra sugar and processed food intake – added sugars gunk up the walls of your intestines and may lead to many GI conditions.

Minimize intake of saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids, as well as highly processed and hormone containing meats.

Use natural supplements that may help support healthy intestinal function and keep diverticulitis at bay. Glutamine is an amino acid that supports intestine function. Aloe vera juice (the whole plant with the bitters) may promote healing.

Strengthen connective tissue via against diverticulitis:
Bioflavonoids: 1000 mg per day
Grape seed extract: 500 mg per day (also used for anti-oxidant effects)
Hawthorn: 1000 mg per day

Support the immune system (to prevent reoccurrence) via:
Probiotics: 10 billion per day for gut integrity.
