I received a very uplifting letter this morning from a
woman who not only eliminated her own digestive problems,
but help her 20 year-old son plagued with fistulas too.
See what Stephanie did:
*******************
Hi Sherry:
Just a quick note to say thank you for your research. Not
only has it stopped my digestive problems but it has also
given my son (who was facing another operation for a
fistula) vital information.
After reading your plan I did more research and learned
his diet was causing the fistula. This is not something
the doctors would ever tell you--they just want to operate
and prescribe more pills.
Just by changing his eating habits he can avoid more
surgery. At 20 years old he was heading down the path to
bowel cancer, which is in the family.
Thank you so much for giving us hope, our whole family is
eating better for it.
I feel so much lighter and no bloating just by changing
the food combinations I was having before. Heartburn and
reflux have gone as well.
Thanks again,
Stephanie, Australia

SB: Stephanie, you're right on. And I'm really happy for
your son and his terrific Mom.
Now, for those who don't know what a fistula is, a brief
explanation:
A fistula is an abnormal "tunnel" connecting two body
cavities or organs (such as the rectum to the vagina) or a
body cavity to the skin (like the rectum to the outside of
the body).
Fistulas can occur anywhere, but there are 4 types that
commonly occur in the lower part of your body
(near the intestines, genitals and rectum):
1) Enterocutaneous: This kind of fistula goes from the
intestines to the skin, and is ususally a complication of
surgery.
2) Enteroenteric or Enterocolic: This is a fistula that
involves the large or small intestine (like what
Stephanie's son had).
3) Enterovaginal: This is a fistula that connects the
vagina to another organ.
4) Enterovesicular: This type of fistula goes to the
bladder.
Fistulas can result from injury, childbirth or surgery.
They can also be caused by infection or inflammation.
But by far one of the most common causes of fistulas is
diverticulitis.
When you have diverticulitis, a fistula forms when a one
of the inflamed "pouches" in your colon is sticking out and
touching another organ nearby, and the pouch bursts.
After the pouch bursts, it sticks to the healthy organ and
forms a tunnel, and all the bacteria, toxins and wastes
that were in the pouch leak onto the other organ.
The closest organ to the colon is the bladder, so that's
where fistulas usually form in people with diverticulitis.
This can lead to severe abdominal pain, bladder infections,
abscesses and even passing intestinal gas through your "pee
hole" while urinating--not a pleasant thought.
Now, Stephanie's belief that her son's diet caused his
fistula is 100% correct.
Here's why:
A typical diet (which is acidic) creates a tremendous
amount of inflammation in your colon.
This inflammation can take the form of various diseases
and problems:
Some people have pouches form in their colon
(diverticulosis) that become infected and turn into
diverticulitis.
Others get IBS symptoms. Still others suffer with
colitis, diarrhea or chronic constipation.
But regardless of the cause, an inflamed colon (large
intestine) leads to the formation of fistulas.
Not only can her 20 year-old son avoid ANOTHER painful
surgery (and also be on track to preventing bowel cancer),
but she herself no longer has acid reflux and heartburn.
When you do what I teach you to do in Great Taste No Pain
everything moves smoothly from top to bottom. No excess
acid in the stomach to come sliding back up, no bloating,
no straining to "go" and most importantly, no inflammation
in your colon.
And no fistulas for you.
To your health,
Sherry Brescia
PS: Marcia (a nurse) no longer suffers with
diverticulitis:
*******************
Hi Sherry,
I am a nurse so I am aware of the clinical symptoms and
adverse outcomes related to diverticulitis. My mother had
one of those inflamed sacs burst and that resulted in a
temporary colonostomy following surgery to remove the
affected colon. I was in agony watching my mother in that
terrible pain never thinking that it could happen to me.
I found out that I had diverticulosis following a kidney
ultrasound some years ago and had one painful episode that
took me to the urgent care 2 years ago. I have been self-
treating the more frequent episodes at home (not
recommended) until last week when nothing worked and I had
the most severe pain yet.
After a CT scan and definite diagnosis of diverticulitis I
began taking the medications that were supposed to take the
pain away.
The side effects from Cipro and Flagyl were worse than the
original symptoms and I could not force myself to stay on
them for more than 36 hours. I felt that they were
"poison" to my system.
I searched online for help and found you. I am so
thankful that you took the time to write down your story
and share it with the many people who have and will benefit
from it.
I purchased your books and followed the plan. I was
surprised that I was not hungry and enjoyed every meal and
snack in a new wondrous way.
I will continue this way of eating and I am sharing with
others this new information because I believe that our
health is something that we can influence and we will be
more energetic and happy as a result.
I am so pleased with how great I feel and my increased
energy. My husband can't believe that I am staying awake
longer at night.
