Here's a post that may offer an option, though diverticulitis is not something I am familiar with, I believe cayenne is truly wonderful and promotes healing:

I'd add lots of water with unrefined Sea Salt and lemon. Sea Salt is imperative for colon health.

Here's a link to a beautiful post about salt:

And on an aside, I have heard from several people that noni juice worked where all else had failed to aid with constipation.

I wish you well in your journey to health.

First you need to cleanse you colon out naturally. This has been the best over all natural Colon Cleanse that I have ever used.
http://www.healyourbodynow.com/products.php
It is cheaper than Dr Natura(Colonix) cleanse and they also give you free probiotics. I actually lost some weight after taking it for the full 3 months.
Also, you need to find OkraPepsinE3 from http://www.StandardProcess.com This product healed my friend who had the same problems you mentioned. He took 6 caps a day I believe and his nutritionist had him get off all dairy and white flour/sugar as well as cafeine! :)

Have you considered Castor oil packs? I have read that they are wonderful for the intestinal system.

It sounds like you are in pain, and just thought that may give you some needed relief. Here are a couple of links with some info:

"Castor Oil Packs

The most frequent use of castor oil is in castor oil packs. The packs are recommended for: cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder), poor eliminations, epilepsy, various liver conditions such as cirrhosis and torpid liver, scleroderma, headaches, appendicitis, arthritis, incoordination between assminilations and eliminations, colitis, intestinal disorders such as stricture and colon impaction, incoordination between nervous systems, neuritis, and toxemia.

"Heat the Oil; dipping two, three to four layers of flannel in same, wring out and apply directly to the body. Well that dry heat be kept over same during the period of an hour or the like when the Packs are on the body. Bathe off the body afterwards, of course, with a weak soda solution, to cleanse the body from the acidity and from the natural secretions that arise from same." [Reading #1034-1]

"Be well to put oil paper or cloth over the Packs, for we should have great quantities of the Oil. Do not make them TOO hot, but so as to at least drive them into the body. It is well to put these on and then apply external heat; as the electric pad or salt bags or the like. DRY heat, though, rather than wet heat." [Reading #1312-3]

The suggested use of the castor oil pack varied from:

several hours at a time, until relief is obtained; to

continued use according to a cycle, such as three days of use alternated with four days off."

"When I was young, our family used castor oil packs for any pain in the abdominal area, whether it was from indigestion, the flu, constipation, or menstrual cramps. It was always so effective that I would ask for it if I ever became ill enough to require bed rest.

In Dr. Christopher's 3-Day Cleansing Program, Mucusless Diet and Herbal Combinations, castor oil fomentations are recommended for ridding the body of hardened mucus in the form of cysts, tumors and polyps. The castor oil is applied by soaking a flannel cloth in castor oil and applying it over the liver. A hot water bottle is applied on top of the pack and left on the area for 30 to 60 minutes. This is repeated daily for three days followed by olive oil massages over the same area for three days. On the seventh day, the patient should rest by fasting on nothing but distilled water. Depending on the particular case, this procedure should be repeated for between six weeks to six months to properly cleanse the system. "
