Thread: Diverticulitis isn’t anti-nut any more

I was always told to eat anything green,wholemeal anything, and nuts... (anything to do with fibre) having been operated on 4 years ago and then diagnosed with diverticulitis. I had never heard of it before. But was told that it is very common, something like 98% of people over 50 have it. (i'm no where near 50!!)

I guess poor diet is what lead me to mine, gut ache for months and months, reflux, drinking milantor (spelling) by the litre. I thought it was just stress from work.

1 week in hospital, remove appendix as thats what they thought was the cause, tubes, etc etc NOT PLEASENT at all..

I ditched my stressful IT job, and decided to get healthy instead.

now all i want to do is have a sh1t kicker job, near a beach, few friends, a girl and be happy. oh and be healthy!!

edit: I still have a few vices that I shold not do!!! dam it...

G'Day,

There are statistics, damn statistics, and outright mis-representation.
You can use statistics to prove your own pre-conceived conclusions.

I lived on Quickease and other related junk for 50 years. Reflux etc.
No more probs when put on " Somac " about 2 years ago, with only one hiccup. When they went out of stock for about a week, used " Zantac ".(Over the counter). Symptons returned until went back on " Somac ".(Script only)
On PBS, only about one sixth the cost of "Zantac".

Kindest Regards, " The Druid ".

I have been on Zantac for a few years..noo good, Nexium after that for a few years, milanta, quickeze whatever i can get my hands on for "Reflux".
I eat pretty healthy and i do drink"Bourbon" only coz beer makes my reflux worse.

This treatment seems to be relatively new.
A good link here;


Or just google " Somac ". A plethora of links.
