DIVERTICULAR DISEASE

In western countries 50 per cent of individuals develop diverticula, 10 per cent by the age of 40 and 65 per cent by the age of 80. Translated from the Latin "diverticular" means "wayward house of ill repute". Consistent with this picturesque description, diverticular really do resemble small balloons which blow out from the inside linings of the colonic wall.
The problem with multiple balloons like pockets festooning the colons outside dimensions is that they attract infection. Transformed into little bags of pus, diverticular rupture cause peritonitis. Sometimes small tunnels form, connecting one piece of bowel to another or pieces of bowel to other organs inside the abdomen. These tunnels can connect pieces of bowel to the bladder, uterus or vagina. The resultant discharge of liquid faecal material from the affected organ is a sign that something untoward is definitely amiss.

Home Remedies
The formation of diverticula relates to a low fibre diet and a high pressure colon. Take 30 grams of high fibre supplement every day. The passage of a soft bulky bowel motion two or three times a day protects individuals from the high pressure which blows the lining of the colon from the inside to the out.
Doctors manage acute diverticulitis with a soft diet and antibiotics. Surgery results when pain and other symptoms persist in the face of conservative management. There is no direct link between diverticula and colorectal cancer.
