Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Ihave struggled with Diverticulosis for some time. I finally got some help from a Homeopathic Doc who told me to take peppermint oil and golden seal and cut way back on wheat products. I have not had a flare up since. I take a couple of golden seal caps every day - I take peppermint oil caps when I feel there may be something going on and most importantly for me I continue to keep my wheat product intake to a minimum. I can't tell you what a relief it has been for me not to have to go on anitbiotics every few months for Diverticulosis flare ups. I mentioned it to my doc and it was news to him. I can only assume that it would also be news to my GI doc. If he had known and would have been able to suggest it as a possible alternative it would have saved me a lot of suffering and several anitbiotic regimes. I also of course keep my fiber intake up as much as possible but not with whole wheat products. I definately recommend this to folks who are dealing with diverticulosis in particular.
