What is Diverticulosis?
Diverticulosis, also known as diverticular disease, occurs when the diverticula (small pouches in the large intestine) bulge outward through weak spots in the lining of the colon. Diverticulosis can occur throughout the digestive tract, but most occur in the large intestine. Diverticulosis is thought to be caused by increased pressure on the intestinal walls.
Sigmoid diverticulosis is even more common. This is because there is a larger build up of pressure in the sigmoid colon (required to move stool into the rectum). Due to this higher pressure, diverticulosis occurs in the sigmoid colon more often.
Most people exhibit no symptoms of diverticulosis. When symptoms do occur, they are usually mild. Diverticulosis symptoms include abdominal pain (particularly in the left side of the lower abdomen), bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and cramping.
Are there foods that are better than others when it comes to a
gallbladder diet? Of course. However, not all gall bladder diets will
work for everyone.
If we agree that gall bladder problems only occur in people who have
unhealthy gastrointestinal systems, then a gall bladder diet can be
based on restoration of gastrointestinal health. If you have already
lost your gall bladder, then a gallbladder diet is key for your system
as well.
Chances of diverticulosis may increase because of poor diet which might include too much
processed food, fast food and foods high in bad fats.
Whole foods, meaning those not processed or in other words "as nature intended" are the mainstay of a diet to prevent or improve diveticulosis.
