Can we be personal for a moment?

Good. Thank you.

We want to talk about a peculiarly grievous condition that plagues millions of humans in our culture from midlife onwards. It is a condition known to be culture-specific, suffered by affluent Westerns more than by any other group of people. And it is cause is said to be unknown to modern medicine. It’s called diverticulitis.

Diverticulitis is a pain in the butt for millions of people, literally, since it involves the colon and rectum. What happens is that the wall of the colon, or huge intestine, becomes weakened over time from increased pressure of unknown cause. The pressure within the colon causes weakened areas to pocket outwards, creating sacs for digested matter to gather and fester. These sacs are called diverticula. When you have these sacs you are said to have diverticulosis. When diverticula become infected and inflamed, the condition is called diverticulitis, which may be as painful as appendicitis and may lead to rupture of the colon wall, a very dangerous situation. The key issue involved in this condition is the creation of increased pressure within the big intestine. It is the strength of this pressure that causes the sacs to form.

Knowing what causes the increased pressure, then, is necessary to the preventative action and treatment of this condition. At one time it was thought by medicine that the diet might be too high in fiber, causing a blockage of digestion and the increased colon pressure. But letting down the fiber of the diet did not significantly modify the condition. Then it was thought that too little fiber prevented proper elimination, and high fiber diets were recommended. Unfortunately, this did not help the condition, either. Diverticulitis is also evenly mutual among vegetarians as it is amid meat eaters. While particular interest groups advancing sure diets present exploration supporting their dietary view as preventive of diverticulitis, there is contrasting exploration to remainder it. So, the overall exploration on diverticulitis has been inconclusive in regards to the cause of increased colon pressure that gives rise to this dreadful condition. And in the absence of knowing the cause, medicine may merely offer pain relief with drugs, antibiotics for the infections, and surgery for exceptionally nasty, abscessed pockets. As for prevention, the current suggestion is to eat more fiber, making th bowels need to eliminate more frequently.

Of course, one thing was overlooked in the medical exploration on diverticulitis. The most mutual reason for increased colon pressure is not actually a medical issue, but a cultural one. That is why medicine has missed it. Furthermore, this cultural exercise causes the medical profession to suffer from diverticulitis to an even more outstanding extent than their patients.

It all has to do with answering Nature when it calls.

We live in a society that trains us from birth to hold in our waste products. From the pressures of diaper training, to the pressures of using public toilets at school, to the pressures of working without the choice of taking necessitated potty breaks, or where a toilet is merely not available, our culture has pressured us into keeping it in. Of course, this produces pressure in the colon. After all, one of the simplest ways to increase colon pressure is to close the anal sphincter while the intestine is contracting.

Everyone has experienced this one time or another. Perhaps the urge came when you were involved in a social circumstance that you could not conveniently stop plainly because you had to answer Nature’s call. Or it could have been while driving, and a rest stop or service station was nowhere to be found. Even if there was a commodious restroom, numerous persons are uncomfortable defecating in a public restroom and prefer keeping it in until home. Whatever the reason, the fact is that our culture makes personal waste management an issue that is not always without apparent effort resolved, furthering procrastination rather than elimination. The result is increased colon pressure and diverticula formation.

In addition to keeping in waste, there is the even dandier problem of keeping in gas. The technical term for this is flatus retention. It’s what most people are trained to do in public, from school days onward. This is why diverticulitis is more prevalent amongst professional, affluent Westerns, than among the poor of third world countries. The higher your status, the less worthy of acceptance or satisfactory your flatus. It seems that poverty buys a right to pass wind when needed, while affluence produces the need for dandier discretion. Yet, the sad fact is that the pressure of the fart ought to go somewhere. Either pass wind or have your intestine blow up. The choice is yours.

Now you may see why medicine says the cause of diverticulitis is unknown. A cultural taboo enshrouds this topic, preventing it is unbiased and honorable consideration. Interestingly, there was one article connecting diverticulitis with keeping in gas. It was in the British medical journal, Lancet, in 1975. The article is entitled, “Flatus retention is the major element in diverticular disease”. But the info was ignored. Medicine seems more comfortable prescribing drugs and surgery for diverticulitis than merely telling people to poop and fart more often.

For those who suffer from diverticulosis or diverticulitis, you may carry out your own self study. Over the next three months, note how often you feel the urge to eliminate, but find yourself choosing, for one reason or another, to hold it in. Pay peculiar attention to your need to pass wind, and how often times you don’t. Make each effort to concede your body to do what it wants to do. If you have a partner, you may want him or her to try this self study at the same time.
