safe to use hydrated bentonite if u have diverticular pockets?

hello all,

my digestive system is in so much distress :(

i am certain i have diverticulosis / diverticular pockets, and i get a pain in my left hip joint like either something is stuck, or a pocket is clogged, and...

please forgive me for mentioning, but when i have to pass gass, i feel a lot of pressure in certain spots, like something inside might burst :(

(and also have a lump behind my abdominal 'padding', to the left of my belly button, that i feel might be a small hernia, related or not to a diverticular pocket pushing against that area)

i want to cleanse, and i want to do the strongest cleanse possible...

do any of you know if it is safe to use hydrated (i do make sure it is completely hydrated, and i take 16oz water w/ every tablespoon) Bentonite clay as a part of cleansing, when a person has diverticular pockets? i am worried that it might clog up/push the pockets even more to their limits...

and can someone recommend to me some DEEP cleansing ingredients/protocols? and - just hoping - anything that might help clean out the pockets, specifically, if that's even possible?

as always ...thank you, thank you, thank you ...i would be lost without all the people in this community who take the time to share their wisdom... Tweet
