Diverticulitis and a Small Perforation

Posted by Dee (Wisconsin ) on 04/21/2025

I have just been diagnosed with diverticulitis and now have a microscopic perforation. Anyone out there have had any experience with this and any suggestions?

Hi Dee,

Two commonly used supplements for diverticulitis are Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) and Oregano oil in soft gels. Take them at label directions. Since you already have a perforation, slippery elm bark may be useful to help protect the perforation and potentially allow the perforation to heal if taken at label dosing amount.

Here are some typical products :

I have always recommended Swedish-Bitters to people suffering from diverticulitis. Every one of them was cured of this illness within 5 days of taking this elixir 3x/daily.
