This book has been specifically designed and written for people who have been diagnosed with Diverticulitis and seriously strive to heal and cure it with the help of a right, healthy and effective homemade diet. Apart from taking medications prescribed by the doctor, it is extremely important to eat the right diet to ease the discomfort caused. I believe this is the most effective Diverticulitis diet ever researched and written. Doctors have spent years searching in vain for the cause of diverticulitis. It might not be as tough as they are making it. Basically only three things reach the digestive tract where symptoms occur. They are: -The food and drinks we consume -Medications we take -The saliva, acid, bile and enzymes our body produces for digestion. Only hydrochloric acid is so irritating to tissue that it could reasonably cause the inflammation and corrosion of the colon wall. Now this raises another question: Isn't the body, including the digestive, tract designed to tolerate acid? "YES." So what's the problem? Enzyme and bile digestion are the preferable methods of digestion in my opinion and they are not damaging to delicate tissues like the esophagus, throat, intestinal cilia and mucosal lining. This, in my opinion is the problem. Acid is not bad but acid digestion with every meal seems to exact a terrible price on the digestive tract. People with diverticulitis may simply be those who are more sensitive to acid digestion or more prone to the effects catalyst food combinations cause.
