Diverticulitis Update 2021 

This condition is caused by gut dysbiosis (bad bacteria overtaking your colon and infecting the diverticula). Get some kefir made preferably from grass fed cows with billions of probiotics, such as Maple Hill kefir (I get mine from Publix). And get a chewable acidophilis probiotic supplement and another one I use is by Mason that includes acidophilus and bifidus with a prebiotic (food for the cultures). Also take 3 or 4 teaspoons of ORGANIC extra virgin olive oil per day (I take morning, noon and night). It destroys h. pylori and other bad bacteria in the gut without destroying the good ones like antibiotics do. This (the olive oil) needs to be done for about 2-4 weeks at least. I'd keep doing the probiotics indefinately. Maybe taper off to just 1 capsule and 1 serving of kefir per day after you are fully healed. Since I started doing the things listed above, my diverticulitus symptoms stopped completely. I got a huge, noticeable improvement after the very first day of drinking the kefir. I drink about 1/4th a cup in the morning and 1/2 cup at night before bed. Try it. It worked wonders for me!! I couldn't even drink water without a flare up before I started this regimen. My flare up went on for 6 weeks with no signs of stopping until I got the kefir, probiotics and organic extra virgin olive oil. After 2 weeks of doing that, I was and am eating whatever I want again. I ate Bojangles fried chicken and biscuits on Saturday and Sunday I had a ribeye, steamed broccoli and steak fries...; )

Doctor name

How does the urine look I get a lot of bubbles in the morning

Maybe second time is a charm 🤞

@@frankpope5097 darker than it should be - it causes UTI.

19:20 This guy explains it well. "I generally just recommend to keep things moving". But there is a hint in his description of what patients complain about that reminds me of allergy symptoms. He says people tell him, I was doing fine until I ate this. And when that happens, I can tell you all that I ate a brazil nut as a kid and went into anaphylactic shock. My windpipe closed almost completely and only by staying very calm was I able to give my body enough time to deal with the problem. It's a clue in that same direction. The body can have extreme reactions to plant material. Most plants are not edible. Only certain plants have been engineered through breeding to make them edible today. So, to recommend to people that plants are good and to avoid meat, which, with only one exception (a tick bite), is a failure to understand the real situation. You guys, in recommending plant and fruit diets, are up against a human body that doesn't want this at all in terms of energy consumption and plant life that wants to kill you so you for fertilizer for it's seeds. 19:31 magnesium supplement - this is a good idea. I am trying to help somebody with this problem that insists on eating cheese and veggies, etc. I know that magnesium works for people that are addicted to cheeses. For example, a couple spoons of Nigari (a MgCl product from the ocean) in a little bit of water tastes terrible, but you can wash it down with a little bit more water or just eat the cheese afterwards and it will make sure the stool passes right on through. Lots of people are magnesium deficient. Perhaps it's not in the soil where the plants grow anymore. I understand we have destroyed our soils by using pesticides and monocropping them when we should just let the plants grow and let the animals eat the plants and insects. By killing the soil, worms, insects, etc that are sharing our gardens, we end up destroying the nutritional value of the foods there. Nobody wants worms in their apple, but they should be feeding the apple to the pigs and eating the pig instead. Logic folks. What do you do when you wage war on a country? You destroy their cattle just like was done in Europe and the United States when Europe invaded. Need to stop the wars and get the animals growing again and dump the plant-based eating ideas that are a lie so deep that even these doctors can't figure it out for themselves anymore...

This is my conclusion, the preamble to diverticulitis occurs over anything from five to ten years of this ridiculous western diet. My greatest regret is not becoming a vegan when I was in my twenties.

Like bad teeth?!

Near liquid diet now.

Glad to here someone finally speaking the truth.

Khalid what you mean exactly did you have a temporary stoma?

The lady addressed alcohol consumption and how it does coincide with diverticulitis

Was a attack like

You are correct! I figured out that my diverticulitis is definitely caused or worsened by severe stress! It's much better now that I figured that out...

Have the sigmoid colon removed and do a resection. I did and I am cured. Best thing I ever did. Do not wait till it's emergency. I did and was bagged for 6 months. Just do it when healthy.

Antibiotics I believe causes CDIFF then diverticulitis, stress too. If we the patients, research side effects of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole we should use caution

@@shannonholmes5130 The first attack I was on those two and side affects were worse than the attack. I've switched to amoxicillin and clavulin. Second attack last year was less painful but had a micro perforation. Now I'm up for surgery. I'm pretty much always in a little bit of pain but I've stayed off antibiotics.
