Diverticula are small pockets, or hernias, in the outer wall of the large intestine (colon). They occur mainly in the terminal part of the left colon, which is S-shaped and therefore known as the sigmoid colon.<\/p>\n\nDiverticula are small pockets, or hernias, in the outer wall of the large intestine (colon). They occur mainly in the terminal part of the left colon, which is S-shaped and therefore known as the sigmoid colon.<\/p>\n\n
These diverticula are uncommon in Asian and African countries (<10% of the population) and much more common in Western countries (30% of the population over the age of 50), and appear to be related to fiber deficiency in the diet, dietary excesses, medication and\/or stress.<\/p>\n\n
Most diverticula are asymptomatic, i.e. produce no symptoms.<\/p>\n\n
But in a small number of cases, they can become inflamed, causing pain and even infection. This is known as diverticular sigmoiditis or sigmoidal diverticulitis. <\/p>\n\n
If left untreated, diverticula can lead to perforation or peritonitis. That’s why it’s so important to prevent the appearance of diverticula, and to treat them properly when they cause pain. <\/p>\n\n
The whole purpose of Dr. Trotta’s Natural Medicine Institute blog and consultation is to heal the gut through proper health nutrition. <\/p>\n\n
So anyone who follows this common-sense advice will be much less likely to have diverticula and their complications.<\/p>\n\n
First<\/strong> of all, you need to eat a<\/strong> diet rich in fiber, i.e. vegetables every day, fruit regularly, and prefer whole grains and legumes such as lentils, brown rice and quinoa to pasta, white rice or white bread.<\/p>\n\n Secondly, we need to balance the intestinal flora and provide the necessary fatty acids to the intestinal mucosa.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Our intestinal flora has been damaged by the frequent use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, chlorinated tap water and antiseptics, and the increasing pasteurization of our industrial food.<\/p>\n\n The health of our gut, our colon and our health in general depends on the balance of our gut bacteria.<\/p>\n\n Regular intake of the four probiotic strains contained in PRODOCTA <\/a>will ensure a balanced flora, thus preventing the inconvenience of diverticula.<\/p>\n\n It should be combined withOMEDOCTA<\/a>, which contains omega-3 fatty acids specially selected to work in synergy with PRODOCTA <\/a>‘s four probiotic strains.<\/p>\n\n For example, Dr Trotta recommends taking :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n PRODOCTA <\/a>. 1-0-0, one capsule before breakfast <\/p>\n\n OMEDOCTA<\/a>. 2-0-0. Two capsules before breakfast <\/p>\n\n These three capsules, taken together before every breakfast for three months, will balance your intestinal flora and, combined with a higher-fibre diet, prevent the inconvenience of diverticula.<\/p>\n\n What’s more, taking intestine pack<\/strong><\/span> <\/a>for three months avoids most infections and therefore the need for antibiotics, which encourage the appearance of diverticula.<\/p>\n\n In addition, if you are overweight, which is often the case, Doctor TROTTA recommends evening micro-fasting<\/span><\/strong><\/a> with DRENADOCTA<\/a>, an ecological, economical and effective way of achieving :<\/p>\n\n – a powerful detox that cleanses your intestines, colon and the entire interior of your body<\/p>\n\n – natural, effortless weight loss at night.<\/p>\n\n If you would like a more personal consultation with Doctor TROTTA, request a consultation online by calling 05 54 54 44 43<\/a><\/strong>or book an appointment online<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n If you would like to order the 3-month gut pack <\/a><\/span><\/strong>and the drainer<\/a><\/span><\/strong> click here.<\/p>\n\n Doctor Pascal TROTTA<\/p>\n\n Former intern at Paris Hospitals <\/em><\/p>\n\n Founder of the San Sebastian Institute of Natural Medicine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How can diverticulosis and sigmoid diverticulitis be prevented and treated naturally?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5786,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[382,460,410],"tags":[473],"class_list":["post-5785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advice","category-digestive","category-pain","tag-colon-diverticula"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5785"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5785\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5788,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5785\/revisions\/5788"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dr-trotta.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
