What is the most popular remedy for diverticulitis?
I did a little research to find out what success people were having using natural remedies for diverticulitis. According to Earth Clinic, grapefruit seed extract was the most popular recommended by users. The next most popular was aloe vera juice closely followed by a combination of aloe vera juice and papaya mix.
Also reported was an expensive form of aloe called Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharide (AMP). It may seem expensive but in comparison to expensive doctor’s bills, it will probably work out cheaper than regular prescriptions.
Diverticulitis diet
A diverticulitis diet can’t treat or prevent diverticulitis. Rather, it’s intended to give your digestive system a chance to rest. A diverticulitis diet is typically recommended along with antibiotics for mild or uncomplicated cases of diverticulitis.
A diverticulitis diet starts with only clear liquids for a few days. Examples of beverages allowed on a clear liquid diet include:
- Broth
- Fruit juices without pulp, such as apple juice
- Ice chips
- Ice pops without bits of fruit or fruit pulp
- Gelatin
- Water
- Tea or coffee without cream
As you start feeling better, your doctor will recommend that you slowly add low-fiber foods. Examples of low-fiber foods include:
- Canned or cooked fruits without skin or seeds
- Canned or cooked vegetables such as green beans, peas and potatoes (without the skin)
- Eggs, fish and poultry
- Refined white bread
- Fruit juice with little or no pulp
- Low-fiber cereals
- Milk, yogurt and cheese
- White rice, pasta and noodles
