Diverticulitis Signs & Symptoms (And Why They Occur)

[@carolynmoffett5]

LORD I ask that YOU would touch all those who are sick in their bodies. I rebuke diverticulitis and command healing to spring forth. By JESUS stripes they are healed and made whole. LORD I ask that YOU would restore their health and heal them of their wounds. I decree and declare miracles and creative miracles now in JESUS HOLY NAME.

If it hadn't been for diverticulitis I never would have gone to the emergency room and had a CT scan where they found out that I had stage 2 Renal Cancer with a 2.5 centimeter tumor in my right kidney. Last week I had the cancer and part of my kidney removed during a 4 and a half hour sugery. Left undiagnosed they gave me 3 to 4 years to live. So thank you diverticulitis for saving my life! ✌❤

I want to spread the word as someone who has had intensely bad flare ups of diverticulitis. My advice to anyone, no matter your diet. The most important change I’ve made to avoid flare ups is to drink a glass of water before anything first thing in the morning. The water aids digestion, stops blockages, encourages bowel movement. Obviously, drinking water after ever meal would also be ideal, but if you’re too busy just make sure the first thing you put to your lips when you wake up is water. Touchwood I haven’t had any flare ups.

If I heard correctly in this video, it was said that the pain symptom was constant but that was not the case for me when I was diagnosed with it. I had developed a fever during the day and rapidly felt worse during the day with fever and chills. Later that night I had apparently had a seizure and was in the hospital. They ran head to toe test trying to figure what it was. They said I had diverticulitis without the pain symptoms, leading to fever then seizure. It was a blessing that I went to the Dr. that day cause I learned I had a mini-stroke in my past I was unaware of. I am now getting treated for that. Thank you Lord.

There is diet to follow. My situation started by eating everything I should've avoided. Healthy doesn't means its good for you. I was eating kale salads 3 times a week which ferments in your digestive tracts causing bloating. Seeds (poppy and sesame) on breads also block diverticuli, soda also causes bloating. Needed to simply things greatly for a while and resolved my issues. Psyllium husk is the best fiber mix it up in your juice and let it gel up make enough to last a week. Add to smoothies. Drink lots of water. Metamucil causes bloating with the added sugar so stay away from that.

In that clinic they can test me better with lab. Like iodine ! I have read 2 books and see a lot on you tube, info internet. If you have a lack of iodine. That improves so much if people take carefully build up supplement iodine. Dr. Mark Sircus, dr. Brownstein, journaliste Lynn Farrow did a total investigation. I am totally convinced! I bought even iodoral tablets, iodine drops, selenium. Then i heared that clinic can test me on that. It seems when you have a autoimune disorder you can have in the beginning side effects because your body has to get rid off metals or other poisining toxic elements. Normally where iodine has to be in the body, and there is a lack of iodine, those metals toxic elements sits on the place where iodine needs to be! So your body has to detox and get rid of it. Many diseases can be fixed with iodine, even woman with breastcancer or men with prostate problems. You can buy iodine tests on internet too, that was my plan, because here in regular hospital they dont do those tests! What is so stupid!!! Because thyoroid hormons are made out off IODINE !!! I am waiting the result in that academic clinic 1 november, i want those tests. See wath that professor has got for ideas. The other endocrinologist said you have see it like something is broken in you, wath cant be fixed, only using medicine...😡. I dont believe that !!! I was ALWAYS HEALTHY before 2017 !! Then i was grieving, crying, trauma, of a broken relationship....thén i got ill! Now i feel stronger again, with sometimes still a little dip. But i will overcome it, only my body has to be improved. God is in my life, and he will fix my body and my mind. In that dark time i felt so much stronger with his help. It goes slowly step by step, now already 4,5 years....i feel that my strength increases, i am almost there...

Unlucky as I am, me too, had to go on antibiotics a couple times when it would flare up, doctor always said "Go to emergency room" if I got a fever or felt weak. Didn't listen very well. Years later had a mild heart attack, couple stents, released. Less than 24 hours after getting out of the hospital, my stomach really hurting, I felt weak, was sweating and went to emergency room. I was in bad shape by then and lost consciousness before being wheeled through the door as I couldn't stand by this time. I had gone into sepsis. Emergency surgery at a different hospital with a worried surgery team due my still being loaded with non-reversable blood thinners. I woke up with colostomy bag.

Mom suffered with this "Disease" more than half a century ago and succumbed after abdominal surgery in Aug 1975. Surgeons cut you wide open to remedy chronic issues. Mom later had a Colostomy in 1972. The patient lost muscle control in the lower ab for some time until healing was effective--not to mention the pain. Mom spent 2 weeks in the hospital for her "Surgeries." Now at 70 I have the old age aspect of Diverticulitis, but at least it is not Colitis which has bleeding. Surgery is more advanced and/or precise, maybe less invasive now? In early 1966 as a teen, I developed lower right quadrant pain. I thought I had Appendicitis, but they said my white blood count was normal. I was constipated and could not eat, missed a week at school. This abated but nothing was determined by the medical pros.

I've had really bad pain there for 40 years. I'd ask my Dr about it every once in awhile, especially when pregnant. I've asked several Dr's and several specialist.

So fast forward 10 years, hypothyroidism... then fast forward another 15 years, Lupus, Sjogrens, Demylanating Disease, 2 kinds of arthritis, etc. Point being, is you might have some kind of autoimmune thing going in and that's what's causing that pain. They literally can take 10, 20, 30 years to diagnose autoimmune stuff. Once I got meds going the pain is gone. You're going to have to find a gun hoe Dr or a rheumatologist to run a FULL blood work up to see. A regular Dr will basically do nothing. It's worth it if your worried or that pain is severe enough.
