Is is recommended to have a colonic irrigation while battling with diverticulitis?
I am a disabled senior and just recently began experiencing sharp pain in my lower left quadrant and found that I have diverticulitis (as did my mother). I have gone through 2 flareups, taken antibiotics and changed my entire diet (seems to help a great deal with bm’s), but am wondering if I should cleanout the entire system of buildup. I surely don’t want to opt for surgery if irrigation(s) will help and aren’t precluded by having diverticulitis. I surely don’t want to aggravate these pouches and chance rupturing them. Anyone having any experience with either diverticulitis and its recommended diet, and/or colonic irrigations (high colonics), please advise and thank you all. I’m waiting on test results of colonoscopy.
