inflammation

About three years ago, I did an 83-day juice feast. I had what I thought at that time was a detox episode. I woke up with a very distended stomach and then my lower left side became inflamed and I could actually feel a knot (the size of an egg). The pain was so intense. I did a water enema, drank peppermint tea, and after about two hours the pain went away. This has continued since, and after looking up the symptoms, I assumed I had diverticulitis (5 years ago I had a colonoscopy and was told that I had diverticulosis). In any case, the episodes are sporadic and lasted the same amount of time. However, about a month ago, I had the same type of episode and this time it lasted 8 hours. I have a phobia about doctors so I finally called my GYN (only doctor that I have) and she ordered a muscle relaxer, which seemed to work. I had a colonoscopy about two weeks ago and my (new) doctor found nothing except 3 small pouches from the diverticulosis. He said that the pain could be from a hernia. Although, I do think that all pain particularly in the colon is related to emotions (mired in the past in this case) and the irony of having visited with my family for over a month – the physical manifestation was so awful that I cannot imagine going through that again and am looking for guidance. I have always had issues with my stomach (constipation, spastic colon, acid reflux) and wonder if I could also have food allergies that inflame my colon. During the juice feast, it seemed like grapefruit juice preceded the two bouts with the inflamed colon. As I get older, it also seems that I am far more sensitive to foods than ever before (although my family has always had lots of food and environmental allergies). I started your Probiotics, Bowel Support and Soother, and Digestive Enzymes, and they all seem to be helping. I food combine and also take other supplements. I wondered if you have any other suggestions or if you have ever had anyone else write about similar symptoms? Thanks for any feedback
