DiverticulitisThe formation of pouches, or diverticuli, in the colon, especially in the last third, may become infected and Diverticulitis or diverticular disease is the result. As this condition is more prevalent in women, conventional thinking associates Diverticulitis to a weakened colon wall from increased intra-colonic pressure from labour or straining at the toilet, as well as reduced fibre in the diet. While this assumption may be true, holistic thinking goes further than that and lays most of the blame on insufficient water intake which makes stools too dry for the bowel to shift, and infection with a gut parasite. Treatment must be aimed at restoring the balancing by addressing the parasites and other triggers and allowing the colon to heal and repair by ensuring that adequate, important nutrition such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids of omega 3 and 6, both soluble and insoluble fibre from grains, fruits and vegetables and not forgetting to replace the probiotics or friendly gut flora.
