Can Olive Oil Reduce Pain In Bowel?
Good evening, i know someone who has Diverticulitis and has seen the Doctor who prescribed antibiotics. He still suffers with pain, here and there, I was wondering if taking a capful of olive oil before eating or going to sleep can help reduce build up or pain? I m thinking that back in the old days, drinking a capful of oil helped for a lot of things? Thank you in advance...C.D.C.
