I logged on to your web site after having test for bowel cancer as it is a family problem and I was experience severe pain in my left side.
The practice nurse I saw said that there was no sign of cancer but I probably had diverticulosis. Hence the web search for answers.
I tried your Great Taste No Pain plan and can honestly say that the pain that has bugged me for the last 1 month has gone. It only comes back if I start mis-combining foods.
Thank you very much, this has returned my life to me

Hi Sherry,
I want to let you know that after at least 16 years of stomach pains ranging from the "usual IBS" to gallstones and constant bladder infections and now at this point diverticular which as my consultant said are "all over your intestines - unlike most people"!!!
My husband is a believer in God and after many years of prayer he was led to your website. Somewhat excitedly he showed it to me and we decided to try your Great Taste No Pain plan along with the loads of information. On reading this information I was amazed to see how many of my symptoms were listed apart from the diverticular.
I started to follow your plan on Thursday of last week. By Friday my pain had reduced from usually 8/10 to 2/10 and by Saturday I had no pain at all. On Monday I felt well enough to remove the morphine patches that supposedly were helping me.
I feel great at this point in time but apart from that on sharing with my friends at work I have been surprised how many people have said "Oooo I get that". I have passed on your web address to them so that they may be privy to the great help and advice you share.
THANK YOU GOD AND THANK YOU SHERRY

Hi Sherry,
I have been on your Great Taste No Pain program for 3 weeks. On the first day I ate my
Egg Omelets for breakfast and continued with the menus as your book states. Even on the first day I felt No Hunger. I have my bowel movements normally and without pain. I was diagnosed with Diverticulosis like 20 years ago. I am 70 years old. I lost 4 lbs on the first week.
My only fear is that I will get careless and bored and go back to my old ways of eating, but I will try very hard not to. I was taking care of this problem with Dicyclomine, prescription for many years. It worked fairly well, but I had to really watch my body. If I took it every day, I would start diarrhea and it I didn't take it I would start getting constipated.
Thank You for your plan and your advice.

Thanks to my husband having a gastric attack and spending 7 hours in the emergency ward to learn it was diverticulosis I went on line and ordered your Great Taste No Pain plan.
While your plan is much what I eat. It is what I like...my husband has forever been pushing aside the broccoli and beans and fruits. Now that his mind is open I have devised some great "side" dishes that combine sweet peppers, broccoli, beans and all kinds of goodies with a bran rice and chicken broth seasoning.
He loves it.
Natures messages + Sherry Brescia = renewal.

Well, Sherry,
My diverticulosis was really bothering me but I was highly skeptical of food combining. I was however, desperate to get rid of my severe constipation and painful elimination.
I took the Metamucil fiber supplements, the yogurt that Jamie Curtis advertises and even the liquid supplement which comes in a small bottle. Eventually they had all stopped working for me.
I tried your Great Taste No Pain plan with great trepidation. I thought how can my body dispose of waste without the digestive aides? I noticed a difference on the second day. I thought wow, how is this possible that 'my problem' has disappeared so quickly? My allergies have eased now and I'm sleeping better and lastly, I have more energy. I'm also better able to deal with the stress of my job since adopting my (I mean your) new 'pain free plan'.
I'm extremely grateful to you.

Sherry,
I was diagnosed with diverticulosis, for the past 15 years I have had heartburn and have terrible lower back pain. I have been faithful to your Great Taste No Pain eating plan and I have no more constipation. I am regular again and that has been a huge plus.
I am so much better!
Thanks for all your many years of research to bless us with.

Dear Sherry,
It has not been quite a week yet since I started your Great Taste No Pain program. After a colonoscopy I was diagnosed with diverticulosis. I was told no nuts, no seeds, no popcorn, no skin on fruits, all the things you referred to as being incorrect.
While researching diverticulosis I came across your plan and decided to give it a try. The best thing I could have done for myself.
I have been taking "The Purple Pill" for a very long time. Mostly I would take one pill, but frequently I would resort to taking another one. If I forgot to take it I would have the worst case of heartburn and nothing would help. I was also on Lipitor for high Cholesterol; I had recently developed High Blood Pressure and was put on a low dose of medicine. All these things got me very depressed so I got a little "Happy Pill".
Well I stopped taking the Nexium and low and behold I have not had any Heartburn the whole time. I have cut out the other medications and I feel great. I feel that for the first time in a long time I feel my body in its natural state. I even have a clearer vision and feel like a fog has lifted.
You program is so easy to follow and since I own a restaurant my cooks are very helpful in the preparations of my meals.
I am turning 65 next month and your program came at the right time. I feel that I have a chance now to live through my senior year’s medication free. I do have a doctor’s appointment just to make sure everything is ok without the meds. My doctor will be pleasantly surprised since I also lost 7 pounds since I stated your program.
Thanks so much for your dedication and for giving me the chance to improve my health without medication and for letting me look ahead to spending lots of quality time with me 4 granddaughters.
Greetings from the "Big Apple" and Thank You again.

Dear Sherry,
I feel a lot better than I did before I started this new eating plan. I was still hurting from my attack of diverticulosis. I thought I'd die for the 12 hours I was in great pain and having yellow diarrhea streaked with blood. I went to the emergency room and after 8 hours and two cat scans and being hydrated I was sent home with antibiotics. One was so strong I couldn’t walk I was so dizzy, and nauseated. I finally started to feel somewhat better but was very weak.
I searched the internet and found your story. I ordered your Great Taste No Pain plan right away. I have lost abt 8 lbs. A nice side effect. I do feel more energetic. My insides feel a little touchy but I feel I am on the mend. Being 71 years old slows down the effect I think.
I plan to stay on this plan and get back to my old self. No pun intended.
Thank you so much.

Hi Sherry,
There is more to life than stuffing your face with the wrong foods. I was diagnosed with diverticulosis in Jan 2009. At a low point after a weeks stay in hospital and feeling quite disillusioned by the ordeal, thank god I came across your fantastic website.
I joined the gym in 2008, paid $800 dollars and didn't lose 1 kilo. I stuck to your food combining plan and lost 15 kilos in 3 months and the pain did go away as you stated.
Goodbye gym membership hello food combining. I don't know how to thank you enough. I would love to personally shake your hand and give you the biggest hug ever. I was eating myself to death totally unaware of the signs symptoms and dangers. Now I play miss doctor and preacher.
My twin had my symptoms 3 months ago and guess what? Yep she has diverticulosis too.
We can’t thank you enough Sherry. You are an inspiration and savior. I am 42 and feeling fabulous. I am looking forward to the next 42 pain free years of my life.
You are a miracle.
From twin number 1.

Dear Sherry,
Thank you for your "Great Taste No Pain" plan for stomach distress.
I am 63 years old and have suffered from heartburn, bloating and stomach pain for most of my adult life. I have been diagnosed over the years with Cholecystitis, GERD, and Diverticulosis.
After 1 day of using your Great Taste No Pain plan I am finally free of stomach discomfort. Since then I have no need to take the Nexium tablets.
