In your opinion, what herbs or alternative medicine are good to take regularly when you have diverticulosis and what herbs or alternative medicine, in your opinion, are good when you feel an attack coming on like fever and pain.

Any tips will help.

I have had diverticulitis for over 20 years, three flare-ups , two hospital stays, I have been pain and flare-up free for the past 3 years by taking a good digestive enzyme with every meal. I take a product called Digest Gold. You can fine it on eBay. It only make sense that taking something that helps with digestion would help, Something a Doctor will never tell you..

PS if you have pain and fever, Go to the hospital asap, and stop eating solid food, eat clear liquids only.

Some experts suspect that people who develop diverticulitis may not have enough good bacteria in their colons. Probiotics — foods or supplements that contain beneficial bacteria — may help restore the body's natural balance, which may help prevent diverticulitis from occurring. However, this hasn't yet been proved in clinical studies. Probiotics are generally considered safe, but it's always a good idea to check with your doctor before taking any type of supplements to be sure that they won't affect any treatment you're currently receiving.

Liquid diet for a few days when having most trouble, keep a high fiber diet. Don't hold bathroom needs Drink plenty of water
