Introduction to Diverticulitis

Diverticulitis is a condition of inflammation. The walls of the intestines balloon out forming pouches where undigested food particles, small seeds, [e.g. strawberries, raspberries] lodge. These pouches, called diverticula, become perforated (torn), infected and inflamed.

Diverticula, due to frequent constipation and eating a low fiber diet, which is typical in the USA, contributes to the development of diverticulitis [“itis” meaning inflammation]. Low fiber diets produce maladaptive changes in the colon resulting in increased pressure that can cause pouches to form at weak points in the wall of the colon. When there is insufficient fiber to add bulk and the inability to soften stool, stools are harder to pass.

Other causes that are associated with diverticulitis include a family history of the disease, thyroid deficiency, emotional stress causing colon spasm, hidden food allergies, and may be related to vascular disorders or gallbladder disease as well as obesity, or a poor diet . It is well known that stress and smoking make symptoms worse.

Diverticulitis is usually associated with constipation, but bouts of diarrhea should not be overlooked as well. Diarrhea is the result of insult and injury to the cells of the small intestine.

With diarrhea there is dehydration and a loss of electrolytes. Fluids are very important for colon health as fluids help rid the body of toxins. Tests should be conducted to see if there is a bacterial infection, viral infection, or parasitic infection.  

**NOTE: artificial sweeteners cause diarrhea.

Symptoms of diverticulitis include episodes of lower abdominal pain and cramping, changes in bowel habits, and a sense of fullness in the abdomen. With chronic or severe cases, there might be fever, tenderness and rigidity of the abdomen over the area of the intestine involved.

People may experience:

 

Pain areas: in the abdomen

 

Gastrointestinal: bloating, blood in stool, change in bowel habits, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, or flatulence

 

Whole body: chills, fever, or loss of appetite

 

Also common: cramping

The word “systemic” means body wide. Systemic enzymes are those that operate not just for digestion but throughout your body in every system and organ. But let’s take first things first, what is an enzyme?

An enzyme is a biocatalyst - something that makes something else work or work faster. Chemical reactions are generally slow things, enzymes speed them up. Without enzymes the chemical reactions that make up our life would be too slow for life as we know it. (As slow as sap running down a tree in winter). For life to manifest as we know it, enzymes are essential to speed up the reactions. We have roughly some 3000 enzymes in our bodies and that results in over 7000 enzymic reactions. Most of these enzymes are derived or created from what we think of as the protein digesting enzymes. But while digestion is an important part of what enzymes do, it's almost the absolute last function. First and foremost these body wide proteolytic (protein eating) enzymes have the following actions

Evidence suggests that trypsin, papain and other proteolytic enzymes can break up existing pathogenic immune complexes and even prevent their formation in the first place, enhancing lymphatic drainage. This provides a stimulatory effect on the immune system, meaning proteolytic enzymes are natural immune system boosters. This makes them beneficial for people with conditions tied to high levels of immune complexes or autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, and multiple sclerosis.
