Kim from Bay Minette, AL, asked:
Hello Julie,
I recently found your podcast and have enjoyed your show so much. I find it amazing that you are not far from me in Sweet Home Alabama!
I am having a reoccurrence of diverticulitis and IBS attacks. They put my life on hold for several days and I have to go on liquid diets and work my way back up to normal eating habits.
Can you scan me and tell me what could be causing these attacks and what I can do to ward them off? I’ve never had any known stomach issues until after my father passed in 2013. Since then, I average 3-5 attacks a year, sometimes more.
I’ve had tests done and I definitely have diverticulosis. A recent GI doctor said my stomach issues are not so much from the diverticulosis, but from IBS-C.
Thank you so much for your help!
Kim
Hi Kim,
Nice to hear from a fellow Alabamian! Hate that you’re experiencing stomach pain.
The Mayo Clinic says, “Diverticula are small, bulging pouches that can form in the lining of your digestive system. They are found most often in the lower part of the large intestine (colon). Diverticula are common, especially after age 40, and seldom cause problems.
The presence of diverticula is known as diverticulosis. When one or more of the pouches become inflamed, and in some cases infected, that condition is known as diverticulitis. Diverticulitis can cause severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea and a marked change in your bowel habits.
Mild diverticulitis can be treated with rest, changes in diet and antibiotics. Severe or recurring diverticulitis may require surgery.”
In order to get some information for you, I energetically connected to you and did a scan of your abdomen.
I saw (in my mind’s eye) what looked like an inflamed GI tract. In particular, there were so many little diverticula (small pockets), your intestines looked like a pomegranate without seeds.
Next, I watched (again in my mind’s eye), a healing occur. I first applied anti-inflammatory energy and then your colon was irrigated to remove any food particles. Then, stem cell energy used to fill in the little pockets. A vortex formed above your abdomen and transformed the stem cell energy into new intestinal tissue. The result was a smooth inner lining of your colon. No more pockets!
Since a large part of our immune system is located in the gut, please consider getting your gut biome tested. This test is available without a doctor’s order and can be done at home. It will tell you based on the trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc. that comprise the ecosystem in your gut, the best foods for you to eat and avoid. And, since food is the best medicine, this information will help you heal your body.
Thanks for your question. Hope you feel better.
