I tried your Great Taste No Pain plan. I have stopped taking acid reducers and Tums for almost a week now and have noticed a dramatic change.
I also told my mom about what I read and she said she was wondering if her acid reducer was giving her diarrhea. She stopped taking it and her bowl movements are back to normal. Thank you for your advice.
Thank You.

Sherry,
I have seen immediate and continued changes. After 3 plus years of every single day having 4-8 bouts of explosive diarrhea, I have had solid stools (and yes as you say in your paper that is a strange word!) for 9 straight days, once and at most twice a day. This started by the morning of day 2, WOW!
I have also noticed the disappearance of unsightly black head acne on my nose and nose creases.
In addition my arthritic elbows have diminished in pain considerably. I have cut my intake of Mobic in half and will probably do away with it totally in a few weeks!
Additionally, I have lost 6 pounds. I was not looking for this "benefit” it just came with the plan...
These are the physical, concrete improvements I can definitely espouse. This is in only 9 days of a changed diet! I feel great and just plain have less hunger and more energy!
Thank you for the information contained in your plan!
Regards,

Hi Sherry,
I started the pain free meal plan on April 19th. I am a nurse so naturally I was very skeptical. After two days I went off the nexium and the astelin for my bad sinus issues. I am no longer skeptical as I have experienced the following: Before the program I had diarrhea 6-7 times a day, terrible sinus problems, bleeding hemorrhoids, stomach bloating and general intestinal issues as well as stomach pain from an ulcer. These symptoms are all under control and life is good, very good!!! I am a believer. Thank you and I will share the program with others who have similar issues.

Hello Sherry,
I suffered with stomach pain, diarrhea, food stuck in my esophagus and acid reflux for over 4 years. I had 2 esophageal stretching’s in 2006 and was told I would have to take nexium and prilosec daily for the rest of my life. I frequently took Imodium AD to be able to leave my house. I have recently moved to a new area and after having suffered most of January and February, and I found a new doctor. I had a colonoscopy and was told I have severe diverticulitis and some colitis. I found your web page the next day and started the plan. It made me feel good right away and by the time I went for a CT Scan on less than a week later, the colitis was gone.
I no longer have acid reflux nor do I have stomach pain or bowel trouble. An allergy caused mucus in my throat - GONE. And I lost 5 pounds.
I have been sticking as close to the plan as I can for 4 weeks and feel really good.
As so many people have already said, THANK YOU so much for your research and sharing with others.

Dear Sherry,
I want to share this with everyone because for many a years since high school, I have always been told that I have IBS, spastic colon, leaky gut, etc. and even had amebas parasite and almost died before they got me diagnosed, so I thought. Recently my gastroenterologist did an endoscopy (going down through the throat) to check to the small bowel, stomach and even my pancreas. My mother died from pancreatic gallbladder cancer at the age of 56, the same age as me. The doctor sent me to MUSC in Charleston for further testing such as an Endoscopy Ultrasound and I found out I have two cysts on the inside of my pancreas. No sweat, so they said. I needed to come within a year and do the pancreatic secretion test of the pancreas and that is when they found that I do not have enough enzymes in my stomach to digest food (which is called chronic pancreatitis which causes terrible diarrhea, cramping, bloating, and pain frequently). No matter what I ate (and it could be cream of wheat only) I would end up getting diarrhea. I could not go out walking for fear of having to go to the bathroom and not finding one available. It's been horrible to live in fear of not being close by to a bathroom and possibly having an accident in your clothes. The doctor informed me that the food I had eaten the last couple days was rotting in my intestinal tract and then when I ate again, that is when the flush of force and pain would come with the diarrhea and would feel really sick. I would feel like a wilted rag, you know the feeling?
What saved me from this terrible process is taking natural pancreatic enzymes and not a prescription drug with side affects, but taking natural holistic enzymes and following the GTNP routine of eating, gradually and boy what a difference it has made. My sister turned me on to your site and I tried it. For the last two weeks I have been walking around my business complex without fear of having to go to the bathroom and my bloated stomach is actually going down and I have more energy as well. Combining the two has really helped!

Hello Sherry,
I did follow the plan and found it extremely helpful. Everything went well, reflux disappeared as did the pain, then I got a chest infection three weeks ago and have been on two lots of antibiotics and a different one this week. I must admit I feel whacked but the reflux and pain have not returned.
I feel like I need to write to you at last about my episode a couple of years ago and how I wish I had known about GTNP then. Since I found your website quite by accident, I am so excited as I feel so well, I just keep telling everybody I meet about it.
In November of 2005 I had what the doctor at a walk in clinic said was an infection in my tummy, and so a course of Keflex would help. # 1 Anaphylaxis with that and it nearly killed me.
A couple of days later checking with my family doctor, she admitted me to the hospital. After a week on antibiotics, surgery was in order. The surgery went well, I had a large stress abscess removed from my bowel with no need for a colostomy. Recovery was very slow and 8 weeks post op my incision was still draining. Another abscess was forming unbeknownst to everyone. After 3 further readmissions to hospital and discharges that nothing was wrong, I went back in for the 4th readmission. The doctors found my white blood count was off the wall and after the 3rd day in hospital another huge abscess tried to burst through the wall of my abdomen. So back to surgery to drain another huge abscess that had formed with nowhere to drain. A couple of days later I was discharged and have been doing great ever since with just a few bouts of indigestion.
This past September cramps and constipation and diarrhea took over again. After 2 and a half months of arguing with the doctor and having a "normal ct scan of the abdomen" and several visits to hospital emergency departments where the treatment was massive laxatives, enemas and drinking jugs of peg lite, the doctor threw her hands up and sent me to a team of surgeons.
Next came the dreaded colonoscopy prep at which time was found a polyp which was easily removed and during that time I found GTNP and ordered your program as well. Since eating your right way, no troubles at all. Here's hoping I do not have further troubles with eating the "RIGHT WAY". From September to December I lost 35 pounds and since the colonoscopy have gained only 5 of it back. Eating your right way keeps my weight on even keel at 140 lbs and I have energy to burn.
Please keep in mind that I am not really very young anymore. I will be 70 in August and everyone thinks I am in my 50's. I agree with another testimonial that you should be on Oprah and Doctor Phil and every other talk show host you can get to. Let's tell the world! (which by the way, I have been doing since finding you on the net.)
Here's hoping more people will find out about your website and that the world becomes a healthier place. Keep up the excellent work. I just thank God, I found your website.

Hi Sherry,
After starting to do what you recommend in your program I started to feel better! No diarrhea and no pain etc. That took about 3 days. I've had this for years and it just started to get worse. I've been taking Pectrolite, just before I started your program but the Pectrolite did not even make any difference any more. I also used Colofac which I do not need any more. The only stuff that I still use is Bio-L' glutamine and Probiflora intensive strain 9, which I believe is good for you.

Hi Sherry,
I am feeling better already. I have stopped having constant nausea and diarrhea.

Hello
In June of this year I could not walk because of pain in my leg and was diagnosed with a prolapsed disc which the surgeon is loath to operate on because of complications from a previous operation. That is when I started on my course of painkillers which helped the pain of course. I can get about very well, but oh how I suffered with constipation, which even prunes (my normal antidote if required) would not relieve.
When I started experiencing chronic diarrhea in September my doctor looked askance at me when I suggested this was due to my medication. I have suffered with chronic diarrhea and terrible stomach pains daily, have had a sigmoidoscopy and CT Scan and my consultant has diagnosed diverticular disease. My next appointment with him is on 22 December therefore I do not know what he will suggest for the relief of my symptoms. I'm not sure which is worse . . . the dreadful sciatic pain or stomach pain and diarrhea.
Friends and acquaintances advised me that diet is the only help for diverticular disease, my research on the internet showed that the best information could possibly be from Sherry Brescia so I immediately sent off for Great Taste No Pain.
Having followed the plan for four days now I feel much better in myself and have actually experienced two days without diarrhea!!! Wow!
I've managed to cut my medication down by half but sadly can't manage without any at all which of course would be ideal.
Thank you, Sherry.

Hi!
Once I finally got going on your Great Taste No Pain eating plan by day 2 my bloating and gas, as well as heartburn was gone! Even though I cheated on day one a little bit, I had such a marked improvement in how I felt that it gave me the drive to go whole hog on the rest of the days without cheating!!
I cannot believe how great the smoothies are for breakfast! I feel like I am splurging, but hey no gas or diarrhea or anything, that is a miracle. How great is this? I have even lost a pound or two already. My clothes are more comfy and I was not even trying!
Thanks, I pray I can make this a permanent life style change, but so far so good!
