A few nights ago I was reading some medical journals about
diverticulitis.
I know. That about as interesting as Lindsay Lohan's
latest after-hours road rage incident on the Santa Monica
Freeway.
But there was something that you'll find fascinating.
What most people don't know is that when you have
diverticulitis, if one of the inflamed pouches in your
colon burst (and they usually do), the bacteria and
"sheete" in the colon can leak all throughout your abdomen
(called peritonitis) and possibly kill you.
But what is interesting in a morbid sort of way is
"fistulas."
Fistulas are like little bridges that form when a
diverticulitis "pouch" is sticking out and touching another
organ close by, and the inflamed pouch bursts.
After the pouch bursts, it sticks to the healthy organ
like a suction cup, and it dumps all of the bacteria and
"sheete" that was in the pouch into the other organ.
So with diverticulitis, not only do you have a painful,
infected colon, and the possibility of the sheete hitting
the fan all over your abdomen and killing you, now you can
also have your other organs individually poisoned with the
help of fistulas.
The closest organ to the colon is the bladder, so that's
where fistulas usually form. And when the bladder gets
infected...well, if you've ever had a bladder infection
(wanting to pee every 2 minutes, feeling like you're
sitting on a blow torch, you know how agonizing bladder
infections can be.
And that's just the beginning...
Because this most certainly leads to other diseases.
Fistulas can also attach to your small intestine, uterus,
vagina, abdominal wall, or even your thigh or chest.
Yet another reason to shrink those diverticulosis
pouches...or prevent them from forming to begin with.
When you do the way I teach you to do in Great Taste No Pain
- http://greattastenopain.com everything moves smoothly
from top to bottom, no straining, no grunting, no
sweating...and you'll never hear your doctor say, "You have
something called a fistula."
To your health,

Sherry:
Thanks for all the good info on diverticulosis. I am
going on my 9th day of your plan and my tummy has never
felt better.
I don't hurt for the first time in a very long time
(originally my doctor told me I had diverticulosis 8 years
ago but only recently have had severe tummy issues);
however I have experienced "episodes" for years.
My brother has suffered from Crohn's disease for years now.
Thanks,
Susan (healthy tummy now kind of woman!!!!)
SB: Susan, I'm sure your brother would benefit from Great
Taste No Pain too. Be sure to tell him how great you're
feeling.
