Fast When You Have A Diverticulitis Flare Up

When you have a flare-up of diverticulitis it is important to fast. With the body not focusing on its digestive processes, your body will be free to do its healing work. Liquids only – preferably ginger water is incredibly healing during a diverticulitis flare. What is more, ginger is a powerful antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and nerve-calming spice that can ease diverticular pain fast. Steep freshly sliced and peeled ginger in boiling water for 15 minutes, then allow it to cool a bit. You can sip ginger water throughout the day to decrease inflammation and calm discomfort.Turmeric is another potent and pain-relieving anti-inflammatory that works well along with ginger during a flare-up.
