Natural Protocol for Diverticulitis and Diverticula Management

Natural Support for Diverticulitis

Diverticulitis is a condition in which small pouches in the colon (diverticula) become inflamed or infected. While often asymptomatic, flare-ups can cause pain, bloating, and bowel irregularities. This protocol focuses on gut-supportive nutraceuticals and dietary strategies to promote healing and prevent recurrence.

Before starting any supplementation, consult with your primary healthcare provider.

Daily Supplement Routine

Morning (fasting or before breakfast)

Microbiome Breakthrough (1 scoop daily)

• Combines prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics to support smooth intestinal transit.
  
• Balances gut flora and reduces flare-up risk.
  
• Begin with a smaller dose if you’re experiencing active inflammation.
  
• Duration: 6–8 weeks.
  
  

With meals (only if not in acute phase)

Berberine Breakthrough (1 capsule daily)

• Natural antimicrobial that supports intestinal and metabolic health.

• Avoid nuts and seeds during flare-ups.
  
• Maintain hydration and log symptoms daily.
  
• Get 15–20 minutes of sunlight per day.
