Abdominal and back pain started to control my life. It seemed I was having bouts of this each and everyday. After countless hours spent in doctors offices, and the emergency room, I think with the help of some people like you sharing their story I have some answers!
Of course after a while I assumed the worst. This pain was making me sweat, and giving me chills, actually sending me to bed it was so bad. At the emergency room they took blood, urine samples, did ultra sounds, stool sample, and x-rays. Still nothing showed up. It was frustrating.
They were looking for the most common signs of back pain. Urinary tract infection, kidney infection, kidney stones, cysts on the ovaries, gallbladder problems, fibroids, and irritable bowel syndrome to name a few. The problem with women and abdominal pain is that everything is so close together down there, it can be a number of problems, and they must all be investigated.
It occurred to me after a while that constipation could be triggered this bouts of pain as well, as I was having problems going everyday. This was just not like me, as we live as vegetarians and are quite regular with our bowel movements everyday.
I spent a lot of time with rice bags and heating pads on both front and back of me. I also started taking Tylenol and Advil when the pain hit and I drank an entire bottle of pink pepto bismol in less then a week. ANYTHING to help with this pain.
A Little Help From My Friends
One day I was working in my hair salon and the pain hit really bad again. I was actually trying to reach my afternoon clients to cancel but was unsuccessful in doing this. Turns out two ladies arrive right on time and I told them of my pain. Because I was sharing, they starting sharing their story to. Turns out both of them were familiar with these symptoms and had either experienced them or had a friend who had. They mentioned diverticulitis. It is when the small pouch like sack in your intestines gets plugs up with seeds and such. And this severe pain evolves. Infection sets in and trouble lies ahead. They told me to go on liquids right away, such as fresh carrot juice and broths. To clear my bowels. They mentioned fibre blend to get things going, so that afternoon I took it not once but twice. We used to use it everyday but had gotten out of the habit ( I do not advise this) everyone should use a fibre cleanse each and everyday to keep things cleared up.
Within a few hours my bowels started to really move. In fact I had never seen a larger one come out of me then that day. My pain went away. I continued this liquid diet with rice and easy to digest foods as well, and within days my abdominal and back pain had vanished just like that! I couldn't believe it.
In reality, Diverticulitis is not the "disease" at all.
It's actually a "symptom" - an outward "signal" - of a damaged inner terrain that simply is too polluted, toxic, and acidic!
So you can see now how important diet and lifestyle really are. Juicing for me has literally saved me from visits to my doctor and healed my body.
I think because the emergency room had given me two rounds of heavy duty antibiotics for bladder and kidney infections it saved me from it becoming worse. It no doubt helped rid my body of the infection that happens when these little pouches get plugged up with such things as seeds and nuts.
I share this story with you only in the hopes that it could help others out there suffering from abdominal and back pain the way I did. And getting no answers at all from the medical team. It took caring people like you to share their story so that I could get answers to my severe pain and begin to live normal again. Please share your story with us, I would love to hear from you!
Important Update
I want to share an important update with my readers. To my surprise, diverticulitis, and irritable bowel syndrome, shared many of the same symptoms. These two condtions are very hard to tell apart, in my opinion. For me I have been watching closely my diet to determine what better results I am receiving. And it will be this way that I find out which works best for me. For now I am feeling much better, and taking things slow. Introducing a few new foods each week, and waiting to see how my body responds.
A Must Read!
It has only been three weeks since I downloaded your eBook and started changing my diet.
I had diverticulitis and 14 inches of colon removed 6 years ago. Since then, besides the diabetes I've had abdominal pains and diarrhea.
Even taking ImodiumAD didn't help much.
After reading your book [and implementing your recommendations] in the past three weeks the abdominal pains and diarrhea are gone!

"Hi Mark,
I am feeling much better now, thanks! In fact I feel great!
I absolutely cannot believe the changes so far and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your e-book. Everything you said in your book makes PERFECT SENSE!
It is such a relief to know that I can control what happens to my body myself, through diet! Thank you, thank you!
I'd love to read more of your work!!
Thank you for keeping in touch, I really appreciate your interest and concern. Bless you!”

“I had osteoarthritis and a colon condition called Diverticulitis.
It was very painful, especially after my twins were born I started having a lot more problems.
The arthritis was particularly bad in the mornings and it would take me ages to get out of bed and I would have bouts of diverticulitis at least 3 times a month, with it would be excruciating pain which would make me double over and would give me all sorts of bowel problems.
Being a mum and trying to live my life, it was not fun. It is very difficult to look after everybody when you’re in pain all the time.
Although I didn’t know what it was earlier on, I think I’ve lived with diverticulitis or the starts of it from when I was very young I guess. I've always had bowel problems but the really bad pain started about 7 years ago.
The osteoarthritis was not so bad until we moved area's about 7 years ago and because of the climate it too became really bad with swollen joints.
I am a very science based person and did a lot of research on the topic of my pain and came up with very little.
When I discovered [product name] I asked for the scientific research behind it and ill look at it. I found there was so much valid research behind it that I was very impressed, I couldn't deny the research.
