Two Simple ingredients that heal Diverticulitis quickly

When I first experienced the intense pain on my side, I had no idea what it was.  It felt like a terrible cramp and I struggled to walk (due to the pain).  I soon discovered that I had something called Diverticulitis.

What is Diverticulitis?

Diverticulitis happens when pouches form in the wall of the colon and these pouches become inflamed or infected, and this can be very painful.

Diverticulitis Symptoms

The most common symptom of diverticulitis is a pain, which can be mild or severe, on the lower left-hand side of the abdomen.

Other symptoms may include:

• fever
• nausea or vomiting
• a change in bowel habits, such as constipation or diarrhoea
• feeling bloated
• blood in the stool from diverticular bleeding
• mucus in the stool

The symptoms may be mild to severe, depending on the extent of the infection and complications. Other conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome, have similar symptoms.  See your doctor if you have such symptoms.

See your doctor immediately if you have:

• very severe abdominal pain
• a fever
• start vomiting
• feel very unwell
• have blood in your poo

Doctors aren’t really sure what causes diverticulitis but many believe that a low fibre diet may be the main reason.  Without fibre to add bulk to the stool, the colon has to work harder than normal to push the stool forward.  The pressure from this may cause pouches to form in weak spots along the colon.  These pouches become inflamed or infected when bacteria grow’s in them.

The symptoms can last from a few hours to a couple of weeks.  Some of these symptoms are:

• Cramping pain, usually in the lower left side, that is sometimes worse when you move.
• Fever and Chills
• Bloating and gas
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Nausea and sometimes vomiting
• Lack of appetite

In my search for a cure, I discovered that liquid food such as broth was recommended until the cramping pain subsided.  I boiled bones for my broth and found this really helped but I had the dull pain for a number of weeks and I was afraid to eat quite a few things as I didn’t want to risk having another full-blown attack (the pain was just too intense the first time and I didn’t want to experience that again).

I googled like crazy and finally found something that actually worked:

It involved using Apple Cider Vinegar and Cayenne Pepper.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother)

1/2 teaspoon of organic cayenne pepper

10 ounces (300ml) of water

Combine the ingredients and drink once a day (minimum) but ideally twice a day.  Once in the morning and an hour before going to bed.

I tried this and in about two hours I was feeling better.

I recommend using this formula for 3 days totally to eliminate this problem.
