Diverticulitis
Posted , 4 users are following.
As most or all of you have this dreadful complaint (myself included) unfortunately there is not real ''Cure'' Taking Fibogel sachets once a day definately makes the stools soft and should eradicate the painful bowl movements, also avoiding ''Nuts and pips'' will definately help too.
Drinking lots of water will also help being dehydrated is not healthy or doing you any favours with this condition.
Diverticulitis can in ''Very Extreme'' cases cause death, if the Colon bursts by becoming so badly infected, so using the sachets and drinking water regularly will certainly help prevent that scenario..

Just came back from a CT scan at the hospital.
They could not see diverticulitis but I have extensive diverticulosis and a large pocket in the sigmoid area. They told me to go back to Surgeon. In the meantime struggling with constipation and diarrhea. I think I am going to see a Naturopath.
I don't know what the Surgeon can do at this time if no infection was seen.

Well the fact that the sigmoid is not inflammed and the fact that the scan hasn't revealed anything ''Untoward'' apart from the Diverticulosis is a positive thing.
You probably already know that 80% of the population has diverticulosis at some level, but only 20% of us have any real issues with it. The only real answer is the control and managment of it,, there is no cure for this I'm afraid..
Drinking water, moderate exercise, and watch the food intake, are the best helpers.
Visiting a Naturopath, to me would be a waste of time and money.

Sachets are small packets of anything, in this case fybogel sachets which are for aiding the movement of the colon.
