This past Wednesday I did a radio interview with a station
in West Palm Beach, FL.
The show's host said that one of his friends has
diverticulitis, was in and out of the hospital with
"attacks," and might have surgery to have some of his colon
(large intestine) removed and end up with a colostomy.
He asked me how Great Taste No Pain could help.
Here's what I told him:
Diverticulosis happens when your colon muscles get
strained from trying to push along feces that is too dry
and hard. You get bulges in the colon wall that are like
potholes in a road.
Diverticulitis is when someone with diverticulosis gets an
infection or inflammation in one or more of their potholes.
Depending on how bad it is, it could mean antibiotics,
surgery, maybe a colostomy (a hole in your side with a bag
glued over it to collect feces as it trickles out) or, if
the infection spreads to other areas of the abdomen, even
death.
The typical recommendations from the medical community for
people with diverticulosis are to take drugs and eat more
fiber.
But that's not the answer.
Idiots.
Their ignorance knows no bounds.
To stop diverticulosis from flaring up into
diverticulitis, you have look at what caused those potholes
in your gut to begin with. Otherwise, you'll continue to
add more potholes and make it even more likely that feces
will get stuck and inflamed.
Kind of like when a boat springs a leak. You don't just
bail water out. You try to stop the leak! But apparently,
this bit of common sense is way too advanced for the white
lab coats.
Hands down, the single biggest cause of diverticulosis is
food--what you eat, and more importantly, what foods you
eat together.
When you eat high-water, alkaline-rich foods and combine
your meals so that everything is digested easily, you don't
have dry, hard stools. You don't.
Instead, your trips to the bathroom are more like pit
stops at Nascar: 1 - 2 - 3 all done and back on the track.
Yes, it's really supposed to be that quick and "grunt-free."
Smooth, easy bowel movements means no straining, no more
potholes, and a far less chance of any existing potholes
getting infected.
Great Taste No Pain makes eating to prevent diverticulosis
delicious. My guide "What To Eat With What" makes
correctly combining meals a snap, so your daily "pit stop"
is truly like a pit stop, and the recipe book (if you
choose to use it) makes you feel like you're eating like
royalty.
So for those of you who have diverticulitis (and -osis),
you can look forward to significantly less or no more
attacks. Won't that be a nice change?
