If you haven't done so already it is very important that you change your diet following your diverticulosis episode.
Only if you are suffering with diverticulosis will you understand the importance of preventing another attack as the pain it can cause is not easy to describe to someone who hasn't experienced it.
It is a painful sign that something is not right in your stomach and especially with your digestive system.
In order to prevent another diverticulosis episode it is important to understand the workings of your stomach and how your digestive system works.
Changing your diet is only part of the solution.
It is actually still possible to eat most of your favourite foods and reduce or even eliminate the symptoms of diverticulosis.
It is a case of eating the right foods properly and in the correct combinations while avoiding all of the usual ready meals and fast foods.
Certain foods require different types of digestion.
Basically either with our stomach acids or with our alkaline digestive enzymes and they pretty much have the opposite effect to each other.
When problems occur with our stomachs and digestive systems it is because we have combined both types of foods in our meals resulting in both types of digestion occurring.
The result is that our digestive processes are neutralised and the food is not digested properly.
Essentially this can result in our bodies creating too much stomach acid which aggravates our diverticulosis and causes attack after attack.
What we need to do is structure our diet so that we prevent this from happening and it will improve not only our digestive process but our lives in general.
