my daughter cured herself of long standing diverticulitis following Arthur White's program in "Diverticulitis" the whole 9 yards including the fruit juice fast, the exercises, the slippery elm bark gruel at night.

Thanks I will try Solgar magnesium citrate

Don't know what that stuff is. I'm improving my IBS-C (exacerbated by Parkinsons's) with flax oil, ground flax seed meal (a tsp. or less to start), kefir, and miso soup. Also a PT specializing in abdominal pain has given me exercises which help a lot.

I get excruciating [referred] pain around the back due to ibs and I often get relief using a tens machine. Although it doesn't always help, I know I couldn't survive without it now.
