Diverticulitis
I just found out that my grandma has Diverticulitis today, a disease which tends to be common in people who have low fiber diets. My mom created a Diverticulitis Diet blog to keep track of what my grandma is eating and helping to share information about Diverticulitis with others.
I really need to see my mom and grandma again soon. It has been almost 2 years.
Posted at September 1, 2007 3:06 AMMy dad got diverticulitis several years ago and was hospitalized for three days. He's still watching his food intake, and his diet had changed as a result, so that website should be pretty useful. Thanks for sharing. I hope your grandmother gets well soon.
I really recommend the diet that's not really a diet at all but just the summary of the best scientific research available: the china study. Look it up at amazon. Or save some time and I'll tell you in one sentence: eat a whole foods, plant-based diet. It's easy, you won't be a fat-ass, you'll feel awesome, and it's the only research-backed way to truly prevent heart disease and most of the other diseases that fat-ass westerners usually die of.
