APPENDICITIS IS AN INFECTION AND INFLAMMATION OF A SMALL PART OF THE INTESTINES CALLED THE VERMIFORM APPENDIX, AND AS SUCH WILL DEFINITELY HAVE AN EFFECT ON DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION. MOST OFTEN, APPENDICITIS IS TREATED WITH SURGERY TO PREVENT SYSTEMIC INFECTION. SYMPTOMS OF APPENDICITIS INCLUDE SEVERE LOWER ABDOMINAL PAIN, FEVER, NAUSEA AND VOMITING.
IF YOU SUSPECT YOU HAVE APPENDICITIS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. SHOULD YOU NOT HAVE THE ABOVE SYMPTOMS, THEN POOR DIET AND POOR DIGESTION ARE LIKELY. THESE CAN BE REMEDIED BY IMPROVING YOUR DIET BY AVOIDING REFINED AND PACKAGED FOODS, FAST FOODS, GREASY FOODS AND SWEETS, AND EATING WHOLE GRAINS AND WHOLE GRAIN BREADS, FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES, FISH AND LEAN MEATS. BE SURE TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER TO AVOID CONSTIPATION.
