Diverticulitis is very painful, but it's not fatal in and of itself. Caveat there is a worst case scenario in which an infection develops and then you could die of sepsis. Comparable to a burst appendix in that case. It's rare that it progresses that far though, because the pain would be serious enough that any sane person would have seen a doctor about it long before an infection was present. When this happened to my father, he thought it was something much worse, like cancer, so he was actually relieved by the diagnosis.

I don't know the specifics of Ed's case, so I can't say whether surgery was absolutely necessary, or whether he elected to have it since he has the money, and thought it was the fastest way to recovery. In most cases though, it can be managed through dietary means, like eating lots of natural fiber. My dad managed his by grinding up flax seeds and mixing it in with his morning orange juice. Which sounds disgusting, admittedly, but it worked for him.

I had a co worker that almost died from that. He got sicker than fuck from a peanut stuck in his intestines.
BTW Increasing fiber intake increases your chances of getting diverticulitus. The more you shit the chances of getting it increase not decrease. Eating corn and peanuts decrease your chances and make more interesting turds.

You're dead wrong. Increase fibre, water and exercise. http://m.theglobeandmail.com/life/he...service=mobile
