I have been on your "diet" for about a week and already noticed less discomfort with my diverticulosis, less flatulence, less craving, and more regular bowel movements. Thanks!

Hi Sherry,
I found out that I have diverticulosis and my doctor gave me an antibiotic which helped me out a bit. But I decided to go on line to try and find out how I could help myself out without all those restrictions and pills.
I found you. I will admit I had a hard time trying to follow the plan to a tee, but I did do the best I can and it helped me out a lot. So much so, that I haven't had any more pain. Thanks for letting me find you.

Hi Sherry,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, and did I say THANKYOU?!
I was diagnosed with Diverticulosis 2 years ago and haven't been able to find the right way of eating since. By "right" I mean a way in which I feel I can express my culinary skills AND remain compliant.
Well, friend---I cannot tell you what making the shift and following the framework of what you have put forth in your plan has done for me- Sherry, I did not realize how much pain I had actually suffered and accepted as "matter of fact" each and every day until it STOPPED!
I must admit, I have made some minor adjustments, but even with THEM, I haven't felt this healthy and clean inside since I cannot remember when--and oh, I have lost about 20 lbs!
So - much appreciation and gratitude to you for this valuable information that has contributed and enhanced the quality of my life so greatly. Keep up the good work!
Many, many blessings and good health and happiness to you, Sherry!
With Love & Gratitude

Dear Sherry:
I spent the day in the hospital with severe abdominal cramps. Then I discovered Sherry Brescia. The information was just what I needed to make corrections in my life style. For a long time I have been plagued with GERD. I am a singer with a persistent red throat.
No more. Since I began following the recipes and combinations of your Great Taste No Pain recommendations I could go to my colonoscopy with confidence and read the report with positive joy. The polyps were benign and while I may have diverticulosis there is no diverticulitis.
My daughter-in-law is a great cook and writer. You may follow her blog in Tall Kate's Kitchen. Soon after I discovered you I told her of the new love in my life. She has become a convert to your thinking.
Thank you for all you do.

Hi Sherry,
I have not suffered for years like many of your clients, but after three very bad attacks of diverticulosis and upon being told by my doctor that there is no cure I decided to look on the web for further info.
I found your plan and tried it for four days. I am very happy to say that I have not had any stomach pain since I started the plan and am delighted that I have lost a stone in weight and have lost that bloated feeling. The 'down' side is that I have to buy new slacks and skirts!
Thanks Sherry,

Dear Sherry,
I did indeed follow your Great Taste No Pain plan as I have diverticulosis/diverticulitis. After being on it for two days, I had absolutely NO pain. I was still a little sore in the lower abdomen, but by the fourth day I felt like a million dollars!!!! I'm following your food list and doing wonderfully. Thank you so much!!

Dear Sherry,
I have been on your Great Taste No Pain plan and it has worked for me. I had a "flare up" of diverticulosis (diverticulitis) and it frightened me enough to search the internet for answers.
Thank you for your research.

Hello Sherry,
I used to suffer from heartburn, constipation, cramps, diarrhea, gas, bloating, hemorrhoids and diverticulosis was diagnosed after getting the scope examination. Every night I would try to go to sleep with my hands on my stomach trying to ease the pain. I was terrified to meet my friends in a restaurant as I knew as soon as I left, the problems would start. I often had to phone my husband to collect me on the way home as the cramps were so bad that I couldn't walk. He would have to rush me home to the bathroom and I spent hours in the loo. I used to believe that the restaurants were giving me food poisoning and that there must have been something suspect about the food. I searched the internet for information regarding Crohn's disease and celiac disease as they run in the family. I came upon your site and tried the meal plan. I had such relief immediately that I now follow it every day.
Since starting on your plan I sleep well every night. All symptoms of heartburn have disappeared, my bowel movements are normal. I no longer suffer from bloating as I am combining foods properly. I now look forward to eating out in restaurants without fear. I have passed on the good news to friends and family who have digestion problems and I know some of them have already been in contact with you. Heartfelt thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi, Sherry,
Three weeks ago I had surprise attack of diverticulosis. It was a Friday afternoon, and my doctor's office was closed. I couldn't imagine going through the weekend with the pain (I have had two other attacks in the past year and a half), and got on the internet to see if there was anything I could do to help myself.
I found your site and started following your plan immediately. That night I started your plan and by Sunday I felt like a different person. I'm still following it and am amazed that I have lost 7 pounds. I am now eating foods that I have avoided for years because they supposedly didn't agree with me, including cucumbers and peppers.
Thanks, Sherry, for publishing an easy plan that makes so much sense. I meet with my doctor on Monday and can't wait to discuss the Great Taste No Pain plan with him!
Many thanks,
Pauline Bee
I've been following your Great Taste No Pain program for about a week. I have much more energy. I have never been in the pain you talk about but earlier this year had an attack and was taken to the hospital (no pain but bleeding). After testing, it was determined I have diverticulosis and ever since I felt like I was just waiting for this to happen again. It keeps me very nervous.
I've been searching for something to help me keep this from happening and I am so glad I found your website on the internet.
