An herbal "cure" is "capsicum" (red-pepper, cyan-pepper)

I know this from my long departed father; he suffered from the problem.

To get the capsicum into his gut, he "concealed" a 1/8th teaspoon full in a Tablespoon full of sour-cream....twice a day.

The condition is created by a small (enlarged/epanded/blown-up) section in the intestines (a "bubble" in a long tube - a "weak spot") and the offending digestive material "slips" into the pocket and (molders, ferments, putrifies) the capsicum "cleans the area." For my father, the most offending food was NUTS, (high in fiber, oil, protein) which seemed to pocket themselves, in the intestinal-spot, like a chipmonk's-cheeks.
