How do Diverticulitis Pockets Form?
Does your gut have more diverticulitis pockets than your favorite pair of pants? If you live with an inflammatory gut condition such as colitis, diverticulosis, or Crohn’s, the answer is likely, yes.
Research doctors Hunter and Wise report in PubMed study (PMID: 33077029) that over half of the population aged 60+ experience some form of diverticulosis. “Diverticulosis” means pockets in the colon have become inflamed.
Diverticulitis Pockets Can Lead to Painful Flares
Diverticulitis is when pockets become infected. This painful condition is described as a sharp, stabbing pain in the side. We call this getting a “flare.” You may also experience a fever, bloating, mental disorientation, anxiety and constipation.
According to Dr’s Hunter and Wise, diverticulitis is responsible for nearly half-million emergency room visits yearly. If you were part of those statistics, you were likely treated with a strong antibiotic upon diagnosis.
You Can Heal Diverticulitis Pockets & Flares
Ninety percent of my clients tell me that antibiotics is all they received from their doctor with no diet suggestions, lifestyle, or stress factors. None of the medical professionals discussed natural pain relief. Most people leave the emergency room as afraid and confused as when they arrived.
Unfortunately, other than medication and surgery, conventional medicine has little to offer to treat this condition. In fact, diverticulitis, like all inflammatory gut conditions, is often termed as “incurable.”
Naturally Overcome the Pain of Diverticulitis Pockets
With persistence, you can shrink diverticulitis pockets and you can heal and become pain free and symptom-free. You can live a long, healthy, vibrant life even after a diverticulitis diagnosis. Apply the following protocol & I predict you will feel better in one year than you can remember feeling in recent history. My intent for you is to find long term healing. Before I share my natural protocol for natural gut healing (with astonishing results amongst my clients); read this a heartfelt letter from a former sufferer, Lesley Hamer:
Lesley Hamer Tells Her Natural Gut Healing Miracle
“I Was Horrified by the Idea of Surgery”
To Julia,
I wanted to write and thank you and share how much you and your products have impacted my life for the better. On January 2, 2024, I had my second diverticulitis attack in three years. A third followed on March 15. At the time, my GI doctor suggested the possibility of a colon resection. I was horrified by the thought! That marked the beginning of my trying to heal my gut myself. After extensive searching on the internet, I came across your “HAPPY GUT TRIBE” Live streams, as well as your books and products. My journey to wellness had begun. Upon listening to your “It Takes Guts to Be Happy,” audio book, I learned so many things–first and foremost that healing was possible.
“First, I Learned Healing Was Possible”
Aloe vera juice & bone broth were my new best friends. Enzyme Energy after protein meals was a must. Committing to your Diverticulitis Diet for 60 days post-flare to heal was also a must! I learned that you were a gut health coach and colon therapist of 40 years and had trained at HHI in Boston before they relocated to West Palm Beach, FL-30 minutes from my house. I knew it was providence or divine intervention. Me? Colon Cleansing? I drank bone broth on occasion but mostly stuck to the Diverticulitis Diet you suggested. I nervously tried colon hydrotherapy for the first time & could not believe how great I felt!
Personal Consults with Julia Invaluable
After several personal consults, and adhering to your advice, I shocked my skeptical doctors six weeks later with a perfect colonoscopy! When my primary care doctor asked what I was doing, I said, “I’ working with Julia Loggins, a health practitioner in CA.” She replied, ‘Well, whatever you are doing, keep it up because your results are amazing speak for themselves.” I am grateful to Julia for helping me with her wisdom gleaned from years of helping others with gut issues. Her books, products and personalized advice have changed my life and I am forever grateful. YOU TOO CAN HEAL.
With love and appreciation,
Lesley Hamer
5 Powerful Steps to Shrink Diverticulitis Pockets
STEP 1:
Start acidifying your stomach with Enzyme Energy after protein meals. Bust the bloat, brain fog & fatigue right where it starts.
If an inflammatory gut is an issue, your stomach probably won’t produce enough hydrochloric acid to digest protein. Therefore, undigested food can lead to IBS, flares, and constipation. Lack of HCL promotes bugs, bacteria, & parasites who feast on this waste, which may further erode the gut wall. For those with ulcers or gastritis, try Happy Gut Soothe until inflammation and pain reduce. Avoid digestive enzymes with HCL until these conditions clear.
Step 2:
Begin the Diverticulitis Diet. These diet guidelines go beyond FODMAP, a diet commonly suggested by doctors for inflammatory gut conditions. Although superior to the Standard American Diet, FODMAP includes trigger foods that can cause pain & flares. I created the Diverticulitis Diet from four decades of study & work with clients who successfully healed & are now pain-free.
Add four oz. of aloe vera juice daily to your diet, and 6-12 oz. of bone broth. For gut-friendly brands, visit my Happy Gut Tribe Facebook page. Nicole Granito, our page moderator, shares descriptions, links & pictures of dozens of products–from gluten-free bread to coconut yogurt, goat milk colostrum, low acid coffee, pre-made castor oil packs, sugar-free deserts & more. The Happy Gut Tribe Facebook page is a no-cost goldmine of invaluable info.
Step 3:
Appy Food Combining. Separate proteins & carbohydrates & eat fruit alone to ease digestion & reduce inflammation. This is a slam-dunk practice for losing weight and especially, belly fat. Scan Food Combining Chart into your phone for easy access.
4. Colon Cleansing. When pockets are cleared of impacted waste & toxins, they shrink. Launch shrinkage with Happy Gut Cleanse. Take 1-2 capsules day & night. Try professional colon hydrotherapy to quickly cleanse the colon & detox the liver. Visit my SB, CA Clinic where I value the chance to see clients in person. For questions colon hydrotherapy questions, chat on my website or call my clinic at 805-506-4272.
5. Stress Reduction
Daily deep breathing practices, yoga, dance, gardening, or sinking into a big chair with a good book all fit the bill. Stress is an underlying cause of all inflammatory conditions and its necessary to create a less stressful lifestyle.
A main focus of my coaching & consultations is to identify stress triggers & help clients create & maintain lifestyle changes–this is where true healing happens. Most people cannot do this alone. With the Happy Gut Tribe Facebook Group, you have support.
Optional Step
Do a Parasite Cleanse. And add 21 days of Bugs to Be Gone to your Diverticulitis Diet is a simple way to rid your body of bacteria and parasites.
If you feel that you are cursed with an inflamed gut, I challenge you to reframe your thinking. With a shift in attitude & a commitment to self-worth and self-care, this uncomfortable gut of yours can become your superpower.
The Concept of Natural Healing
I believe in nature innate healing because I know it is true. Fifty years ago, I was living and studying at Hippocrate Health Institute in Boston (HHI is now in Palm Beach, FL), with the renowed health pioneer Dr. Ann Wigmore. Hippocrates was the number one natural healing institute in the United States for people with catastrophic disease. Nearly everyone who signed up for the two-week live-in healing workshops had an “incurable” illness. Every Sunday, Dr. Ann would bound down the stairs in the Great Hall to welcome the “guests”. These brave folk arrived with five pounds of medical records and very little hope.
Dr. Ann was 4’11 and had a thick Lithuanian accent. With beet juice on her cheeks, she grasped the hand of every guest and proclaimed, “This is the best day of your life! For today, you let go of all that is not working in your life. And you open to the gifts: what your illness is trying to teach you; your true purpose, and what lies ahead. Healing is possible, and you will learn how to put your body back together again. The best is yet to come.”
Incurable Conditions such as Diverticulitis Pockets Can Heal Naturally
Dr. Ann Wigmore was far ahead of her time. The understanding that the body keeps score was not yet espoused on daytime television. The connection between the gut and the brain had not yet been introduced to the public by Dr. Michael Gershon in his ground-breaking book, “The Second Brain.” However, she was right. Called crazy at the time, Dr. Wigmore’s optimism, faith and high-chlorophyl wheatgrass juice changed my life, and taught me what was possible. And, like so many others, my “incurable” conditions were healed naturally.
Many decades later, thousands of my clients have healed “incurable” inflammatory gut conditions. On the wings of their success, I am excited to share with you the protocols that have worked over and over again to achieve results you may not have thought possible.
