When I was kid, I don’t eat nuts, I beleive if I eat too much nuts, I will got diverticulitis. That because I seen my aunt who got diverticulitis can not eat seeds and nuts. Than I learn that nuts have good nutrients, especially for wommen. Now I start trying to eat some kind of nuts.
I love nuts and I know that they serve as good protein.
i love nuts to all kinds on pies and just straight out the can. my favorite is cashews.
Nuts do have some very good nutritional quality. They have the good fat,that our body requires. Although, they seem to be harder to digest for some people.
i like nuts and especially peanut butter or frozen pecans! my dad has diverticulitis and so nuts was not something that i grew up around due to the complications with that medical disorder
Before watching this video I was highly unaware of these diseases. I have been thankful my whole life to pretty much have the oppurtunity to eat whatever I want.
My mother and her three sisters all have diverticulitus and it can be very painful for them from time to time. My mother actually had part of her intestines removed because it was so bad. My boss has celiacs disease, she said it was such a relief once she was diagnosed so then she could change her diet and get back to life. It was hard figuring out what it was causing the problems and mood swings, irittability etc… I have heard a lot of horror stories about both diseases. I hope I never have either issue to deal with.
Colonoscopy!! Everyone should get them annually! Preventive care is key!! This is fantastic that we can perform this procedure and determine so much in the human body!
I agree. I had to start a little earlier than most people because my dad had colon cancer. It’s not fun but something everyone needs to do at a certain age.
I agree…there are so many conditions associated with digestive disorders, and early detection of some life threatening conditions can be easily avoided by routine screenings and examinations. Great advice.
I recently learned what is exactly happening in the body when someone has celiac disease. I read a lot about it because i was afraid i might have it! Now i do not think i do, but i am going to get an allergy test next week for an itchy rash on my legs. It is crazy how you are really damaging your body when you eat something you are allergic too.
I had a co worker who had Crohns disease but did not know much about it. Only knew it was a digestive disorder.
I would like to have learned what exactly Crohns is. The third video would have been very helpful if you had more information about the disease before watching it. There are so many disorders that I had no idea about. My friend has Celiac and she says that gluten free is sometimes more expensive and that makes it harder to make those choices.
I had no idea about the Celiac disease, very interesting information. I do know 2 people living with Crohns disease. One is doing fine but the other one is in and out the hosptial.
I too have a friend with Crohns, and he is continually battling the disease. I have long had trouble with my digestive tract, but to this point have only been diagnosed with IBS. For someone who loves to eat, it is difficult to give up the foods and drinks that you love, but in the long run it is so much easier to adjust your diet than to deal with the complications.
i didnt know any of this till i watched the videos. Very good information.
I am very grateful that I don’t have food allergies. I can’t think of anyone that is in my family that does we were all fortunate. Being allergic to foods can be a scary thing. It is good to know that food companies are trying to make things to accomadate people who do.
My family and I are also lucky enough to not have any food allergies. I could not imagine going through life and being allergic to things, especially nuts. I would have to read the label of everything before eating it. I think it is great that food companies are making to easier for us to figure out what is in the food that we are consuming.
I agree with the previous comment. I am very lucky I do not have food allergies. My brother-in-law is allergic to mushrooms. Well, I use mushrooms in my spaghetti and Mexican Chicken. Lucky he doesn’t eat often at my house. I learned a lot of information watching these videos.
I had never heard of this before. I feel so bad for those effected by this. If I were diagnosed with this I would definitely follow The nutrition tips and do all I can to make things go uphill rather than down.
My Dad was hospitalized in February with Severe Diverticulitis. He had an infection in his colon that required 4 days of IV antibiotics and an additional 7 days of antibiotics when he was released. In fact, he was told he would likely require surgery. But after 6 weeks of liquid and soft food diet he was cleared to not have surgery. He underwent a colonoscopy just last Thursday to verify that the Diverticulitis had cleared enough that he was no longer at risk for a puncture.
Many don’t understand what it is or how it can be prevented. It has been proven medically that the processed foods that are common in Western Culture play a big part in how our system works and that the Western areas have a larger amount of this disease than cultures where fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats are more often the common meals.
So sorry to hear about your dad. I hope he is better now that he changed how he ate. It is amazing how the human body can repair itself with just changing what we put into our bodies.
I have never had food allergies but my aunt mary is alleric to strawberries. She cant eat, touch, or even be around them without her swelling up or breaking out in a rash. I had no idea what celiac diseases was until know. But if i had it i would listen to my doctors so i could do everything to help myself.
I think that Celiac disease can be scary. When you have to alter your eating habits with these measures may be difficult. Also, when there are no immediate symptons that can make the condition worse.
I think these video’s are very informative. Foods and resources are much more available to people who have diverticulosis and Crohn’s Disease,now. Foods without gluten are much easier to find. The packages are clearly labeled, which is so helpful.
In response to the above post. I’ve noticed gluten free labels popping up everywhere.
Concerning diverticulitis, I guess a high fiber diet keeps the food moving through the intestines at a better rate, leaving a lesser chance for the entrapment of food particles.
I had a friend who was allergic to nuts. He had to make sure everything he ate did not have any nuts in it. Just even if a little bit of nut would cause him to have an allergic reaction. That is a scary thought to have that reaction at anytime if you do not know what you are eating.
Some foods that will help with bloating and gas. Choose some bland types of foods, like bananas, apple sauce, and toast. Steamed vegetables are the best kinds to eat. Some foods speed up through the intestine.
Those food definitely do help (I know from experience) but you can’t exactly live off of them. I try and eat as careful as I can, but between work and school, sometimes grabbing something quick and bad for me is just the easiest option.
The very thought of food allergies that can kill is scary. I once sat at a table with a man that was very allergic to onions and although he clearly explained that his food could not even be prepared on the same surface as they were prepared, he still had onion in his dish. He did not touch it, just sent it straight back along with a few choice words. I think of cases where people allergic to peanuts cannot even get in for medical treatment in time. It is too bad that such a good food such as nuts can cause diverticulitis.
If I were to have this disease I would definitely follow the doctors orders. I don’t have any bad food allergies, but I know of some poeple who do and it could be an illness if that food were to even be around that person.
It’s so neat how a resolution to a problem such as diverticulitis can be resolved with eating more fiber. I think that we should all increase our fiber intake to eliminate the bad things in our bodies. My daughter has severe constipation and this alarms me because I have been feeding her products with gluten in them. I am going to try to eliminate gluten products in her diet for a few weeks to see if this helps. I know one of my cousins has this disease and it would be bad if I didn’t at least try this to see if she gets better.
I have a good friend that has Crohn’s disease. It makes it very hard for him to hold any food down when he is having a flare up. Causes rapid weight lose and has stunted his growth. It also keeps him from enjoying foods that most of us have on a regular basis. I also have a friend that had to go to the Mayo Clinic. They have a great facility with amazing doctors.
I have known people with Crohns and have would liked to have completely understood what exactly Crohns is. The third video would have been very helpful if you had more information about the disease before watching it. There are so many disorders that I had no idea about. I had diverticulitis and had the problem resolved when my intestine ruptured and had 8 inches of my colon taken out. Not pleasant.
Diverticulitis is a nasty disease. I have seen the effects of it on several occasions.
Wow, so wheat can be an enemy! Who would have thought!!! It seems that all you hear now-a-days is “don’t eat white bread, order wheat instead”, “wheat this” and “wheat that”…..well I have a little piece of fact to inform the next “wheat nut” !
All these video I were very helpful to me for the past year Ive been having bad stomach problems and finally went to a GI ive done had the light down my thoat and the end happen in May and im so ready to find out what wrong with. Me and mother both thinking i have Diverticulitis so i was pay very close attention to that video.
I never really knew much about the first two diseases, so the videos were helpful. One of my friends took Accutane for his acne and developed Chron’s disease from it.
I love to eat nuts.
