http://www.angelhealingcenter.com/Diverticulitis.html

Extractions: Diverticulitis Diverticulitis is a serious disease that afflicts many Americans causing not only great abdominal distress and pain but health risks from possible perforation of the colon. It, simply speaking, is a blistering or bubbling of the colon wall from an over stressing of the muscles of the colon trying to evacuate a sticky fiberless stool. Actually, that condition is diverticulosis. It only becomes diverticulitis when it becomes inflammed and infected which even further decreases the tissue integrity making it more prone to perforation. The modalities most commonly recommended by Edgar Cayce include castor oil packs, colonic enemas, osteopathic manipulations, and violet ray therapy. These collectively alleviate distressing symptoms and aid in bringing the body back to balance. Thyroid replacement and/or Atomidine was recommended for underactive thyroid which might aggravate or cause constipation. Suggested Therapeutic Regimen 1. Castor oil packs: (See Recommended Reading) These may be used for three to four hours at a time daily for acute symptoms, then one-and-a-half to two hours at a time three days a week (same days and times if possible) after improvement is noted. Olive oil, one-half teaspoon every two to three hours initially for one to two days, may be helpful. For subacute or chronic cases, one to two tablespoons of olive oil after the third day of castor oil pack (i.e., once a week) may be used.

Extractions: Vision ... Whipple's Disease DIVERTICULITIS - DIVERTICULOSIS Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots, like an inner tube that pokes through weak places in a tire. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. Pouches (plural) are called diverticula. The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis. About half of all Americans age 60 to 80, and almost everyone over age 80, have diverticulosis. When the pouches become infected or inflamed, the condition is called diverticulitis. This happens in 10 to 25 percent of people with diverticulosis. Diverticulosis and diverticulitis are also called diverticular disease. Though not proven, the dominant theory is that a low-fiber diet is the main cause of diverticular disease. The disease was first noticed in the United States in the early 1900s. At about the same time, processed foods were introduced to the American diet. Many processed foods contain refined, low-fiber flour. Unlike whole-wheat flour, refined flour has no wheat bran. Fiber is the part of fruits, vegetables, and grains that the body cannot digest. Some fiber dissolves easily in water (soluble fiber). It takes on a soft, jelly-like texture in the intestines. Some fiber passes almost unchanged through the intestines (insoluble fiber). Both kinds of fiber help make stools soft and easy to pass. Fiber also prevents constipation.

http://www.wdxcyber.com/dxppn015.htm

Extractions: description Diverticulosis is the presence anywhere in the large colon of outpouchings of bowel lining through weak spots in the bowel muscle. It would be analogous to a an inner tube bulging through multiple holes in a tire. It can occur in any or all segments of the larger colon such as the ascending, transverse, descending, or sigmoid colon. Diverticulitis is inflammation or infection of these pouches. The appendix is a unique, elongated diverticula located at the beginning of the large colon. Inflammation or infection of a diverticula is similar to an appendicitis and has the potential to rupture if untreated. Acute diverticulitis that results in surgical treatment is staged by a classification developed by E. J. Hinchey. The Hinchey classification separates diverticulitis into four stages, I : inflammation around the diverticula itself but confined to the colon (peri-colic abscess), II: pelvic, intraabdominal or retroperitoneal abscess, III: generalized inflammation of the abdominal cavity (peritonitis) with frank pus, and IV: generalized peritonitis with stool in the abdominal cavity. Diverticulosis is asymptomatic in about 70% of people, 5-10% of cases are complicated with bleeding and 10-15% develop diverticulitis (

Extractions: Clinical history A 63-year-old female with rheumatoid arthritis treated with corticosteroids for two weeks presented with lower abdominal pain without fever of a few days duration. Her clinical history only revealed a lumbar laminectomy complicated by wound dehiscence. Plain radiograph of the abdomen was interpreted as obstipation. Subsequently, cleansing enemas were administered. The next day she developed a peritonitis and CT scan of the abdomen was performed. Radiological diagnosis Plain radiograph of the abdomen (fig. 1) shows vertically oriented linear lucencies interpreted as trapped air in the wound dehiscence after lumbar laminectomy. Extraluminal gas collections around the urinary bladder are seen.
Go Ask Alice!: What To Eat With Diverticulitis?

http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1778.html

Extractions: Dear Alice, I have diverticulitis. What can I eat, and what should I not eat? Thank you. Dear Reader, For those in need of a definition, diverticulosis is a condition that occurs when pouches or sacs are formed in the intestines. When these sacs become inflamed, it is then termed diverticul itis . The development of this disease is attributed to increased pressure in the intestinal tract. This pressure may occur, but is not limited to, when a person is constipated. The incidence of diverticul itis is greater in middle-aged and elderly folks. Epidemiological evidence suggests that diverticulosis occurs more often when people eat a highly refined, low fiber diet. Generally, if you're diagnosed with diverticulosis, a high fiber diet is key. Since fiber has the ability to absorb water and make stools bulky and soft, pressure on the intestinal tract decreases and waste products move along more quickly. High fiber cereals or unprocessed wheat bran, as well as plenty of fruits and veggies, are often recommended to be included in an eating plan. During a bout of diverticul itis , when you may be experiencing inflammation, a LOW fiber diet is advised, until it subsides. It's a good idea to see your health care provider if you're experiencing any pain or bleeding.

http://www.jhbmc.jhu.edu/Surgery/gensurg/centers/ssat_diver.html

Extractions: Colonic diverticulosis is among the most common diseases of western civilization and is the result of a low fiber diet. In the United States approximately one-third of the population develops diverticulosis by age 50 years and approximately two-thirds by age 80 years. Diverticulitis describes the complication of acute bowel inflammation with the vast majority of cases being confined exclusively to the sigmoid and descending colon. While the majority of cases of acute diverticulitis can be successfully managed medically, recurrent attacks and the complications of diverticulitis require surgical intervention. The important complications of diverticulitis are diffuse peritonitis, a localized abscess, fistulas (such as a colovesical or colovaginal fistula), and obstruction. Acute diverticulitis typically presents with left lower quadrant abdominal pain and local tenderness accompanied by fever. In most instances there is an inflammatory process confined to the colon and its mesentery and adjacent structures or peritoneal surfaces. If the patient has a macroscopic diverticular perforation, a pericolic or pelvic abscess may be present with associated high fever. Patients with perforation and diffuse peritonitis usually present with severe generalized abdominal pain and associated paralytic ileus. Diffuse peritonitis may lead to septic shock with prostration and cardiovascular collapse. High grade colonic obstruction manifests as colicky abdominal pain, bloating and constipation or obstipation.

http://www.bmhcc.org/baptistonline/health/Diverticulitis.asp

Extractions: February 26, 2001 Sunday, March 30 According to the National Institutes of Health, about half of all Americans age 60 to 80, and almost everyone over age 80, have diverticulosis, the development of numerous tiny pockets, or diverticula, in the colon.* Although most people do not experience problems from this condition, up to 20% of people have complications ranging from rectal bleeding to diverticulitis, a condition that occurs when diverticula become infected.** In some cases, diverticulitis can lead to peritonitis, a medical emergency in which intestinal material spills into the abdominal cavity. Sign of the Times Diverticular disease can take years to develop. Experts aren't certain what causes the condition, but the most accepted explanation is that weak points in the colon give way under high pressure, causing small pockets (diverticula) to protrude from the colon wall. Sometimes prolonged high pressure causes a tiny rupture in one of the diverticula. Bacteria in the colon infects the tissue and causes diverticulitis. Experts suggest that people who eat very little fiber are more likely to develop the disease, possibly because of the buildup of pressure in the colon. Diverticular disease is rare in areas of the world where fiber intake is high, and more common in societies where diets include more meat and processed foods.

Extractions: THE CENTRE FOR DIGESTIVE DISEASES - SYDNEY Patient Information Sheet No. 15.1 Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis Diverticulae are little out pocketings of the bowel formed when the lining of the bowel squeezes out between the muscle layers. They can become infected, bleed or break open. The symptoms can be abdominal pain, fever, or bleeding from the back passage. Low fibre diet - a highly processed diet with little dietary fibre make this more likely, usually in older people. After taking your history and examining you, your doctor will usually need to do a blood test for signs of infection. An x-ray or CT scan can be useful to show leakage of air into the belly. A barium test or colonoscopy are not done as the colon is usually too inflamed/infected. The main aim of treatment is to rest the bowel and to treat infection. This usually means a few days in hospital with a drip or liquid only as well as intravenous antibiotics. If this treatment does not work then an operation may be needed to cut out the infected area of bowel. Following this an increase in dietary fibre, fruit and vegetables to increase speed through the bowel and reduce straining is helpful. Note: This information is of a general nature only.

Extractions: Diverticulitis is the inflammation of diverticula on the walls of the intestines. The formation of these pouches, which many people live with painlessly, is known as diverticulosis. Diverticula mainly appear at the end of the descending and sigmoid colons, though they can appear anywhere along the digestive tract. Half of Americans age 60 to 80 have diverticulosis. Ten to 25 percent of these people develop diverticulitis. Diverticula can be painless and exhibit few symptoms. Occasionally they will cause cramping on the left side when passing gas or moving bowels. Most people with diverticulosis are unaware they suffer from this condition because the symptoms are so mild. Also, the symptoms are similar to those of

http://www.scdiet.nl/diverticulitis

Extractions: Divertikels van de dikke darm komen zeer veel voor: ongeveer 50% van de bevolking op een leeftijd van 60 jaar en bijna iedereen op een leeftijd van 80 jaar heeft de aandoening. Enkel een klein percentage van die patiënten vertoont symptomen en een nog kleiner percentage wordt geconfronteerd met een operatie. Wat zijn/is divertikels/diverticulitis? Divertikels zijn zakjes die zich ontwikkelen in de wand van de dikke darm, gewoonlijk in het sigmoïd (voorlaatste deel dikke darm) of in het linkerdeel van de dikke darm. Diverticulosis betekent de aanwezigheid van divertikels. Diverticulitis staat voor een infectie of complicatie van die uitstulpingen. Wat zijn de symptomen? De belangrijkste symptomen van deze aandoening zijn buikpijn (meestal onderaan links in de buik), diarree, krampen, wijzigingen in het stoelgangpatroon en soms eens ernstige rectale bloedingen. Deze symptomen komen slechts voor bij een klein aantal patiënten en zijn soms moeilijk te onderscheiden van een spastisch colon (...). Diverticulitis - een infectie van de divertikels - kan één of meerdere van volgende symptomen geven: pijn, rillingen, koorts en veranderingen in het stoelgangpatroon. Meer intense symptomen duiden op ernstige verwikkelingen zoals een abces, fistelvorming of een opening in de darm (perforatie).
