I told a friend of mine who had been suffering from ulcerative colitis for 6 months without relief despite a multitude of prescription meds and he tried the combination I described above (he said he also added Boswellian for inflammation) and within 4 weeks he was given a completely clean bill of health from his doctor.
Hope this helps anyone suffering from colon problems!!! I told my doctor and my surgeon and both were very impressed with the natural healing method and just wanted to know how I had thought of that combination. It did not surprise either that it actually worked!

Xia, how have you been since you posted your message about treating diverticulitis back in 2012?Replied By Tamara (Auburn, Maine) on 09/30/2014
After reading your post just had a question concerning the Turmeric. Was that 3 - 800 mg three times per day or 1-800 mg Three times per day? Also just wondering which brand you used? Thanks, TamiReplied By Xia (Los Angeles, Ca) on 01/15/2015
I took 3 capsules, 800mg each, per day, I.e., total of 2400mgs. Sometimes I took all 3 in the morning, other days I spread them out over the course of the day. I got mine from Vitacost as they had the best deal (less than $20 for 200 capsules). After completely clearing up the condition, I stopped the daily regimen and did not have a flare up from 2010 until this month, when all of the symptoms of diverticulitis returned (I wasn't surprised because I had gone back to eating processed and fast foods fairly regularly - I know, I know, shame on me! ) So I started up with the turmeric, psyllium husks, aloe vera juice and within 5 days, I have no more pain or tenderness and am symptom free. I learned my lesson - no more processed junk food for me!!!Replied By Laura (Illinois, US) on 01/21/2015
i just got this problem for the first time after eating a lot of junk food since the holidays. I am not as young as when I went on binges before and I usually eat good unprocessed stuff so the diet change to junk did it I am sure
Will try turmeric as I know it is an anti inflammatory. Today I was starting aloe juice . Helped but not 100% so thanks for additional info and your update Xia

These symptoms all started up again, left side soreness and pain, also causes a headache. Early on I had a lot of doc visits. I hated the antibiotics. I didn't know what was wrong. I've been watching, had hardly any doc visits, sometimes I mess up, don't know what did it. Today I felt the Lord told me to try aloe vera again. Thanks for all the confirmation and other remedies as well. This really can be no fun at its worst. Also someone mentioned back pain, which I never thought it went together.
