Absolutely! Many individuals with diverticulitis also manage other health conditions, which often develop before their first flare-up. I can personally relate—I faced my own set of health challenges, and everything changed when I adopted a holistic approach and addressed the root causes.

My 4 Stages of Eating system is designed to repair and restore your gut while supporting a smooth transition to a healthy, high-fiber diet. As you progress and find your personal gut balance, you may even notice improvements in other health conditions—some of our members have seen their symptoms improve or disappear entirely.

This program is about more than just diet. To truly address my own health challenges, I focused on nutrition, exercise, stress management, and lifestyle changes. This comprehensive approach is key to achieving tangible and lasting results.

For ongoing support, tools, and access to a like-minded community, consider joining the Diverticulitis Rescue YourselfMembership. It’s the perfect way to get the guidance and accountability you need to manage your gut and overall health holistically!

Answer: Our holistic approach focuses on addressing the root causes of diverticulitis while empowering you to take control of your health. Unlike traditional medical treatments, which often focus on medication and procedures, we emphasize:

The 4 Stages of Eating: A gut-friendly nutritional plan designed to repair, restore, and rebuild your digestive health, using whole, nourishing foods. This approach moves beyond restrictive diets or processed recommendations commonly found in traditional treatments.

Natural Supplementation: We incorporate carefully selected supplements to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and aid recovery. This differs from relying solely on prescription medications, which may manage symptoms but often don’t address the underlying causes.

Mind-Body Practices: Stress plays a significant role in gut health, and our program integrates mindfulness techniques, journaling, and yoga to help you manage stressors that could trigger flare-ups. Traditional medicine rarely addresses these emotional and mental aspects of health.

Our program combines these elements into a comprehensive, personalized plan to help you manage diverticulitis naturally and feel better without the need for invasive treatments. Learn more about the Diverticulitis Rescue Program and how it can help you take charge of your health.

Answer: The time it takes to progress through the 4 Stages of Eating varies from person to person. It depends on factors like your gut’s current condition, how closely you follow the program, and how your body responds to the changes.

Some people move through the stages quickly, while others take more time to adjust, especially when increasing fiber intake. The key is to listen to your body. If you experience discomfort or digestive issues, it’s often a sign to slow down and spend more time in a specific stage before advancing.

The ultimate goal is to reach Stage 4, where you maintain a fiber intake level that works for your body and supports long-term gut health. Flexibility is essential—even at Stage 4, you may need to adjust your intake depending on how your body feels.

Patience and self-awareness are critical during this process. If you’d like to learn more about the 4 Stages of Eating and how they can help manage diverticulitis naturally, grab my free Diverticulitis Rescue Quick Guide for practical tips to get started!

Answer:  Yes, my program is specifically designed to help you safely and gradually transition to a high-fiber diet. The 4 Stages of Eating provide a structured, step-by-step approach to reintroduce fiber into your meals in a way that supports your gut and minimizes the risk of flare-ups.

Many people find this method helpful for rebuilding confidence with food and achieving long-term digestive health. Transitioning to a high-fiber diet is about more than just adding fiber—it’s about doing it in a way that works for your unique body.

Answer: No, the 4 Stages of Eating are not just for flare-ups—they’re a flexible, lifelong system to help you maintain balance and prevent future issues.

Once you reach Stage 4, you’ll learn how to flow between all the stages, checking in with your body and adjusting as needed. For example:

• On days when your digestion feels sensitive, you might choose a soothing soup from Stage 2.
• For daily maintenance, you can enjoy the variety and fiber-rich options from Stages 3 and 4.

The key is flexibility—using the stages as tools to support your body wherever it is, rather than rigid rules. Many people who stop after a flare-up and return to their old diets end up back in the same cycle. By continuing to use the stages, you can stay in tune with your body and prevent flare-ups altogether.

If you feel a flare-up coming on, it’s natural to wonder if antibiotics are the best route. Ultimately, the decision to take antibiotics is one that only you, in consultation with your doctor, can make. You know your body best, and understanding your own needs and responses is key.

From a holistic perspective, the first step is to pull back to Stage 1: Liquids for a few days to soothe your gut and give it time to rest. Options like bone broth, herbal teas, and low-FODMAP juices are gentle and supportive during this phase.

You might also consider natural supplements like oil of oregano or olive leaf extract to help manage symptoms.

Flare-ups are part of the journey, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Join the Diverticulitis Rescue YourselfMembership for personalized guidance, tools, and a community of like-minded individuals to support you every step of the way.

Being newly diagnosed can feel overwhelming, but this is the start of a journey toward understanding your body and creating a healthier, more balanced life.

A key first step is to allow your body time to rest and heal. Focus on gentle, nourishing foods and hydration to give your gut the support it needs. Tracking how you feel and what you eat in a food journal can also be a helpful way to notice patterns and make informed decisions.

The 4 Stages of Eating provide a framework to help your gut rest, repair, and rebuild, but this journey is about more than food. A holistic approach also means prioritizing stress management, getting gentle movement when you feel ready, and learning to listen to your body. These steps not only reduce flare-ups but can also improve your overall health.

You’re not alone in this process. Many people find that as they follow this path, they regain their confidence, stop flare-ups, and discover a healthier, happier way of living. If you’re ready to take your first step, download my free Diverticulitis Rescue Quick Guide to learn practical tips and start building your foundation.

The foods you can eat depend on where you are in your healing journey. That’s why I created the 4 Stages of Eating, a step-by-step system to support your gut health at every stage:

1. Stage 1: Rest Stage – Focus on soothing liquids like bone broth and herbal teas to calm inflammation during a flare-up.
2. Stage 2: Repair Stage – Transition to nutrient-dense soups and smoothies to rebuild strength and promote gut recovery.
3. Stage 3: Replenish Stage – Incorporate cooked foods rich in soluble fiber to gently support digestion and replenish your microbiome, avoiding tough skins.
4. Stage 4: Restore Stage – Expand to include raw veggies, nuts, and salads to restore balance and promote a more diverse, fiber-rich diet when your gut is ready.

This system is designed to meet you wherever you are, whether you’re managing symptoms during a flare-up or maintaining long-term balance.

Stage 1: Nourishing Liquids is designed to give your gut the rest it needs during a flare-up. Typically, 1–3 days is enough time to rest and reset the colon, but it’s important to listen to your body.

During this stage, focus on soothing, nutrient-rich liquids like organic bone broth, herbal teas, and low-FODMAP juices to support hydration and provide gentle nourishment. Pay attention to how your symptoms evolve, and transition to the next stage when you feel ready.

Remember, this is just the starting point in the process of managing diverticulitis naturally. Each step builds toward better gut health and long-term balance.

Answer:  Yes, there are certain foods you may want to avoid, especially during a flare-up, to help reduce inflammation and promote healing. Here are some general guidelines:

1. High-Fiber Foods: During a flare-up, it’s best to avoid fiber-rich foods like whole grains, raw fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes, as they can be harder to digest and may worsen symptoms. Once symptoms improve, gradually reintroducing these foods following the 4 Stages of Eating can help build long-term gut health.

2. Highly Processed Foods: Foods with added sugars and artificial ingredients can stress the body and increase inflammation. Focus instead on organic, nutrient-dense options that nourish and repair your gut microbiome.

3. Spicy Foods: Spicy dishes may irritate your digestive system during a flare-up. Consider limiting or avoiding them until symptoms subside.

4. Alcohol and Caffeine: Both can be harsh on your digestive system and may trigger or worsen symptoms. It’s best to reduce or avoid them, especially during a flare-up.

Collagen, bone broth, and gelatin are powerful gut-nourishing staples that can play a key role in your diverticulitis journey. Here’s how each one supports your gut health:

🥣 Bone Broth (Stage 1): Packed with amino acids like glycine and proline, bone broth helps repair the gut lining, reduces inflammation, and provides essential nutrients to support digestion during a flare-up.

🍹 Collagen (Stage 2): A gentle, protein-rich addition to smoothies or other soft foods. It provides 20g of protein per serving without the additives found in many protein powders, making it perfect for supporting recovery and strength.

🍮 Gelatin (Stages 1 & 2): Similar to collagen, gelatin supports gut repair while adding texture to meals like soups or desserts. It’s a versatile way to boost your gut health throughout your journey.

By incorporating these superfoods into your diet, you’ll create a foundation for long-term digestive health while supporting your body through the 4 Stages of Eating.

Yes, nuts and seeds can be enjoyed safely with diverticulitis—but only when reintroduced at the right time and in the right way. It’s a myth that these foods cause flare-ups by getting stuck in diverticula. Research has shown that nuts and seeds don’t increase the risk of flare-ups.

However, eating them too soon can stress your digestive system. That’s why it’s crucial to follow the 4 Stages of Eating for Diverticulitis. Nuts and seeds are only reintroduced in Stage 4, once your gut has had time to heal and stabilize. At that point, they can be a nutritious addition to your diet when prepared and consumed mindfully.

For a step-by-step guide to safely reintroducing foods like nuts and seeds, download my free Diverticulitis Rescue QuickGuide and start building confidence with your diet today!

If you’re experiencing diarrhea during a flare-up, it’s important to focus on Stage 1 of the 4 Stages of Eating to support your gut health.

During Stage 1, prioritize nourishing liquids that are gentle on your digestive system. Bone broth, vegetable broth, and herbal teas provide hydration and essential nutrients while helping to repair your colon’s lining and soothe inflammation. This gives your gut the rest it needs to regain balance and heal.

To support your recovery, consider tracking your symptoms and diet in a Food Journal. Monitoring your progress helps you identify patterns, make informed decisions, and stay motivated as you see improvements. Resting, consuming healing liquids, and giving your body time to recover are essential steps during this phase.

Chronic constipation is a common issue, and for many, it may have even contributed to the development of diverticulitis. Finding balance is a personal journey, but a healthy, high-fiber diet is key to supporting good bowel habits and achieving long-term gut health.

The 4 Stages of Eating provide a safe framework to gradually build toward a fiber-rich diet without overwhelming your system. This gradual approach helps your gut adjust and promotes regularity over time.

In addition to a high-fiber diet, it’s important to:

• Stay Hydrated: Water is essential for fiber to move smoothly through your digestive system.
• Exercise Regularly: Physical activity stimulates digestion and supports bowel motility.
• Manage Stress: Chronic stress can impact digestion, so mindfulness practices and relaxation techniques are crucial.
• Support with Supplements: Magnesium and Transformation Probiotic 42.5 can help improve regularity and support overall gut health.

Constipation is a process to manage, but with patience and consistency, you can find balance. For ongoing guidance, tools, and support, join the Diverticulitis Rescue Yourself Membership to connect with a community and resources tailored to your journey.

Pain management for diverticulitis can be challenging, but there are natural ways to ease discomfort while supporting your body’s healing process. Using a heating pad or a castor oil pack can provide soothing relief for abdominal pain. Gentle yoga stretches or light movement may also help reduce tension and promote circulation.

From a dietary perspective, following the 4 Stages of Eating can be beneficial, as it gives your gut the time and support it needs to heal. Avoiding high-FODMAP foods for a few weeks can also help reduce inflammation and ease digestive discomfort. Natural supplements may offer additional support during this time.

Most importantly, listen to your body. If you feel you need pain medication, consult your doctor to determine the best course of action for your situation.

Yes, the 4 Stages of Eating and program recommendations are essential whether or not you’ve had surgery. Surgery can address immediate issues, but it doesn’t guarantee that diverticulitis won’t develop in other areas, especially if eating and lifestyle habits remain unchanged.

After surgery, you can:

• Begin with Stages 1–2 to allow your body to heal and stabilize.
• Gradually progress to Stage 3 and beyond as you feel stronger.

Many of our members who have had surgery continue to follow the program closely. They’ve experienced improved gut symptoms, greater stability, and overall better health by adopting the holistic lifestyle we recommend.

Recovery is a process, but you’re not alone. Download my free Diverticulitis Rescue Quick Guide to learn more about the 4 Stages of Eating and take the first steps toward long-term gut health.

No, diverticulitis isn’t considered curable, but significant improvements are possible. Diverticulitis occurs when small pouches, called diverticula, form in the colon wall. Over time, these areas can thin, making them more prone to inflammation and infection.

The good news is that your body has a natural ability to repair itself when given the right tools and environment. That’s where our program comes in. Through a combination of nutrition, stress management, lifestyle changes, and support, you can:

• Stop flare-ups.
• Improve your gut and overall health.
• Take back control of your life.

It’s a process, and while results take time, many members, including myself, have seen significant improvements in colonoscopy results—and GI doctors are taking notice with big thumbs up.

Your journey starts with small, intentional changes that create lasting impact. Ready to learn more? Join the membership for the tools, guidance, and community to help you along the way.

I hear this a lot, and it’s a valid concern. But my program is not just another diet plan—it’s a comprehensive, holistic approach to managing diverticulitis and improving your overall health. Unlike a “quick fix” diet, this program is about building sustainable habits that work for your body and your life.

The 4 Stages of Eating aren’t about restriction—they’re about understanding what your gut needs to rest, repair, and rebuild. Paired with stress management, lifestyle changes, and community support, this approach helps you address the root causes of your symptoms rather than just managing them temporarily.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan—it’s a framework designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence and control.

I completely understand this worry—it’s one of the most common concerns I hear. The truth is, the goal of my program is not to restrict you forever but to help you build a relationship with food that works for your gut and your life.

The 4 Stages of Eating are designed to be flexible. As you progress through the stages and learn what works for your body, you’ll gradually reintroduce a wider variety of foods, including those you may have thought you couldn’t enjoy again. Many members find that they can eat “normal” foods—they just know how to do it in a way that keeps them feeling good.

It’s about freedom, not restriction—learning to listen to your body and make choices that support your long-term health.

It’s true—there’s a lot of free advice out there. But the problem with free advice is that it’s often conflicting, confusing, and not tailored to your specific needs. This program is different because it provides a clear, proven framework—the 4 Stages of Eating—along with the tools and guidance to help you implement it successfully.

What you’re paying for is expertise, structure, and ongoing support. Instead of piecing together random tips and hoping for the best, you’ll have access to a holistic system that’s helped so many people eliminate flare-ups, improve their gut health, and even stop relying on medications.

It’s not just a program—it’s a community of like-minded individuals all working toward the same goal. The value lies in the clarity, support, and results you’ll achieve.

I get it—life is busy, and adding something new can feel overwhelming. That’s why my program is designed to be practical and flexible. The 4 Stages of Eating provide a framework that you can adapt to your schedule, focusing on small, manageable steps that make a big difference.

This isn’t about overhauling your life overnight. It’s about building habits that fit into your routine and make you feel better. Many members find that the time they invest in this program actually saves them time and stress in the long run because they’re no longer battling constant flare-ups or confusion about what to eat.

Your health is worth making time for, and I’m here to help you every step of the way.

Doctors play an important role in your care, and their advice is invaluable. What makes my program different is that it goes beyond medical advice to provide a practical, holistic framework for managing diverticulitis in your daily life.

Many people leave the doctor’s office with general guidelines—“eat more fiber” or “avoid certain foods”—but no clear path forward. The 4 Stages of Eating take the guesswork out of that process, offering a step-by-step approach to healing your gut, rebuilding your confidence, and finding balance.

This program also addresses the mind-body connection, incorporating stress management, lifestyle changes, and community support. It’s not just about managing symptoms—it’s about transforming your overall health.

I know how hard it is to feel like nothing works—I’ve been there. When I was diagnosed with diverticulitis in 2006, I suffered through six years of repeated flare-ups, following mainstream advice that left me feeling worse. By the time I hit rock bottom, I had developed diverticula in four different areas of my colon and was facing the very real possibility of surgery.

Everything changed in 2012 when I decided to take a holistic approach. I started looking at the bigger picture: my eating habits, my lifestyle, and even how I managed stress. By making real, lasting changes, I stopped flaring, and I haven’t needed antibiotics since. That’s over a decade of being flare-free, and it’s exactly why I created this program.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan or a quick fix. It’s a process that meets you where you are, helps you understand your body, and gives you the tools to stop flare-ups, improve your gut health, and take back control of your life. If I can do it—and if so many of our members can—you can too.
