A different kind of pasty
As a fellow diverticulosis sufferer, thanks for the info. No doctor (and I've seen many on this issue) has ever mentioned that, I'll give it a whirl. The only food specific advise I was ever given was to avoid tomatoes as the pips can get stuck in the pockets and exacerbate the problem.

Yes.....excellent advice.....and check your paperwork regularly for spots/flecks of blood. These can be very small, so look carefully. They can indicate polyps or piles but more importantly ( as in my case ) bowel cancer. It was only after seeing a few flecks of blood for the second or third time that I decided to go to the doctor and I wasn't always inspecting down below. I felt fine, great, in rude health. I was a C on the ' Dukes ' scale of bowel cancer ( D is where it has spread to other vital organs and is in the final stage )

From www.realmilk.com
"Raw milk contains many components that kill pathogens and strengthen the immune system. These include lacto-peroxidase, lacto-ferrin, anti-microbial components of blood (leukocytes, B-macrophages, neutrophils, T-lymphocytes, immunoglobulins and antibodies), special carbohydrates (polysaccharides and oligosaccharides), special fats (medium chain fatty acids, phospholipids and spingolipids), complement enzymes, lysozyme, hormones, growth factors, mucins, fibronectin, glycomacropeptide, beneficial bacteria, bifidus factor and B12-binding protein. These components are largely inactivated by the heat of pasteurization and ultrapasteurization.
This five-fold protective system destroys pathogens in the milk, stimulates the Immune system, builds healthy gut wall, prevents absorption of pathogens and toxins in the gut and ensures assimilation of all the nutrients."
It really is a superfood.

Yep agree wifey kins been lactose free for a while now due to loose issues and everything is now fine. Have found most coffee shops use lactose free milk if requested
Or that's what they tell us. No wonder you were always angry

Best of luck
When I was diagnosed with divertilosis it was a 'clinical' diagnosis - meaning based on the opinion of the GP. When I told this to the consultant in January he just laughed. I had had the symptoms but the camera proved I did not actually have the condition. Mind you I am not complaining that it forced me to change my diet in 2001, to a largely fish and veg based one - no processed food (microwave kormas.....mmmm!).

Hangover treatment
'Dealing with a hangover involves rehydrating the body to help it deal with the painful symptoms. The best time to rehydrate is before going to sleep after a drinking session.
Painkillers can help with headaches and muscle cramps.
Sugary foods may help you feel less trembly. In some cases, an antacid may be needed to settle your stomach first.
Bouillon soup, a thin vegetable-based broth, is a good source of vitamins and minerals, which can top up depleted resources. Its main advantage is it's easy for a fragile stomach to digest.
You can replace lost fluids by drinking bland liquids that are easy on the digestive system, such as water, soda water and isotonic drinks.'
I think, whatever our individual complaints, we can probably all agree Diet has a huge effect on our health. When I’m on healthy form , eating mainly a Mediterranean style diet with healthy oils, fish and plenty of salad and veg , all cooked simply, I feel so much better. I can lapse into process food, bacon and little veg and I really feel the difference.
And yes, allergies and intolerances can raise their heads at any time in life.
The important thing is to be self aware, look for changes, get regular check ups and adjust if you have to.
A good thread.

Meat and animal fat is OK too, as long as it is grass-fed, hormone-free and not processed. It makes a huge difference to its nutrition content and digestibility. I love bacon so get mine sent from a Scottish butcher who makes it pure in the old-fashioned way.
I agree - good thread.
I 'got lucky' when a large bowel tumour was discovered by chance at the end of 2018, resulting in an 11 hour op just this February.
Blood tests at my GP's over recent years had been totally inadequate, so please never rely on your GP doing just that. Internal checks (a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy) and/or an MRI scan, are a must to detect bowel cancer. Although slow growing, bowel cancer gives a very high fatality rate once in Stage 3 or 4, killing 16,000 people in the UK per annum. Early detection is vital to save your life.

I suffer with diverticulitis and the one thing I swear by is aloe vera inner leaf juice. A tablespoon every morning and I'm generally pretty good as long as I stick with wholegrain and eat plenty of veg.
