Most of my life I have had problems with constipation, bloating and
gas.
I have tried a high-fiber diet includinglarge amounts of oatmeal,
apples, vegetables, tons of water,etc but nothing seemed to work.
I have had great results, however, from a company called diverticulitisinfo.com.
I ordered (one of ) their diverticulitus kits and faithfully follow the regimen daily.
It took about four days to start seeing results. It s hard to believe
that for the first time in years my digestion and elimination have returned to normal.
I feel so much better!

Those with Ulcerative Colitis have found improvement by avoiding foods that seem to worsen symptoms. Because each
person is different, it's important for you to take an active role in finding out which foods tend to make your
symptoms worse. Keeping a food dairy that shows when your symptoms are worse is very helpful.
You will probably find that after improving your diet (to your own specific needs) and balancing your body through
the ingredients in the Healthy Bowel Support
or the specific Ulcerative
Colitis Kit (Botanicals & Homeopathics) that you will be able to later add in foods that affected you adversely
before. Most find that through this combination of diet and balance with the natural products that a vigorous,
happy and normal life is not far off!
To start with (until you are more balanced) avoid:
- Dairy products
- Spicy foods
- Wheat products
- Gluten products
- Chocolate
- Caffeinated beverages, such as coffee,
some teas, and soft drinks
- Alcoholic beverages
- Certain raw fruits and vegetables, especially
broccoli, cabbage, apples, and carrots.
- Artificial sweeteners, such as sorbitol or mannitol
- High-fat foods, such as butter, red meat,
avocados, nuts, and anything fried.

In the beginning, if other raw fruits and vegetables cause
you problems, try them steamed or baked. Or, you can try to find other fruits and vegetables that don't make your
symptoms worse. Remember, as you heal you can add more of the fruits and vegetables back in to your diet without
problems.
Some have also found it beneficial to
avoid these foods (especially in the beginning):
- Popcorn
- Fruit juices
- Beans
- Onions
Eating smaller, more frequent meals (EVERY 2-3 HOURS)
The foods you eat can make a difference in the severity and longevity of your symptoms. Many find that certain
foods and beverages are less tolerable during flare-ups. Remember, though our conditions have things in common
(symptoms) we are all individuals and imbalances affect each of us a bit different. It is up to us to discover
what that is. Listen to your own body. Pay attention.
By keeping a food diary in conjunction with what is happening with your symptoms you can see if and what food sensitivities
you may have. Remember, it is a process. You didn
t get sick overnight and you will need some time to heal. Consider the supplements found on the product page (Ulcerative Colitis Kit) and try to return to whole, natural high fiber foods. Consider adding
Chia seeds and more vegetables to start along with the herb and homeopathics found in the kits.
Don't forget your water intake&2 quarts daily!
- Avoid saturated and trans fats
- Make sure you are getting enough Omega Oils (3,6 & 9's)
- Exercise (3 times weekly minimum)!
Make sure to read the section on 'The Importance of Water' and 'The Importance of Exercise'!
