I
thought I had heard it all when it comes to the things people are
usually told about colitis when they get their diagnosis.
I
call them "colitis-isms." You know, the usual stuff like:
- How
drugs like Asacol are the ONLY treatment. (Silly you -- never mind
worrying that its most common side effects are gas, cramps and
diarrhea--the very things it's supposed to HELP.)
- How you are basically
"doomed" once you have it and your life will never be
normal again. (Read: Know
where the bathroom is everywhere you go...and learn to deal with the
embarrassment.)
- How
you might be looking at surgery (and a possible J-pouch or colostomy)
if the drugs won't keep you in remission. Keep your fingers crossed
that you don't have to go under the knife.
- And
the biggest lie -- how your diet makes absolutely NO difference in your
condition.
Well,
I was wrong.
I
HAVEN'T heard it all.
Because
Rod, who had colitis, then was told he was supposedly misdiagnosed,
then got it again...really bad.
Here's
Rod's personal journey with colitis, as well as how he's proven many of the
usual "colitis-isms" to be a bunch of malarkey.
*******************
Hi Sherry,
I wanted to share my personal
journey with you and how you are affecting it as well as others around me.
Back in 2008 I was diagnosed
with Chronic Colitis. I had bloody stools with minor pain but frequent
heavy urges to pass them. The colonoscopy revealed from my rectum up 6
inches into my colon was inflamed.
I was prescribed Asacol which
I took for a few months with seeming little to no results from the drug. I
wasn't miserable but very uncomfortable.
Therefore, I read as much as I
could about natural ways to help me. I started taking Aloe and Omega 3 Fish
oil, and started eating better. After a few months of this my condition
disappeared.
At my one year appointment and
colonoscopy, (my original doctor retired so this was a completely new
doctor) I reported my condition to the doctor and underwent the procedure.
Upon waking, it was reported to me that I never had colitis and all the
biopsies showed complete negative. I was surprised to say the least.
Labeled a mis-diagnosis, I went on about my life.
January 2012 rolls around and
I still find myself in good health. Four years have passed and I suspect
nothing. The next day would tell a totally different story.
I woke to a familiar feeling
when I used the toilet. Small amounts of blood were in my stool again. It
would only take about 1 month before my life became a nightmare.
The amount of blood in my
stools was scary. It was so painful to pass the stools I could not sit
afterwards. I had no energy after a day at work to do much other than
sleep. Making an appointment with the second doctor, I underwent a
colonoscopy again only to be once again diagnosed with colitis--more severe
this time.
I was prescribed a daily
suppository of 1000mg mesalamine and sent on my way. I was told my life is
now changed forever. No hope except for the drugs and the level they will
be prescribed.
So frustrated, I refused to
believe this. I started looking for similarities in my habits in 2008 and
now leading up to the event. I realized that it came at the same time of
the year. I realized it came during a phase of my weight training that put
me eating very large quantities of protein (whey and solid) and little to
no veggies or fruits.
Reading on this, I found it to
be highly acidic. That lead me to food combinations, and my google search
led me to the Great
Taste No Pain website.
Skeptical but desperate, I
gave my email to Sherry and printed the trial "Pain Free in 1
Day" regimen. The emails came and I read. I ate for 1 week on this
regimen. I sent emails to Sherry's staff and responses came. Wow, this
seemed real! I ordered the complete kit and have been following it very
closely.
Three weeks later, I am
feeling much better. My visits to the restroom are down from a staggering
15 times per day to 4 - 6 times. Blood is minimal, pain is only high when I
find a food that produces flatulence (still have not mastered this).
For me gas is the most painful
part. Those with colitis will understand that passing gas is impossible
without blood and puss accompanying it. Not letting it pass can be
excruciatingly painful.
Though I am not out of the
woods, I feel I am making leaps and bounds out of it. I am, Thanks to
Sherry, educated and helping my family (even though they do not suffer from
my condition). Everyone in my family suffers from bad eating habits in some
way or another. They have all ordered this system now, and I can't wait see
the results.
Today I sit here in no pain,
only had one visit to the restroom (it's 10:30am) and un-medicated. I am
taking daily fish oil
and daily Aloe. I take
Sherry's Super Shield
Probiotics and am
thinking about her Digestizol Max
enzymes, depending on what
the next few weeks tell me.
Bottom line, I feel great and
believe I will only get better! If you have colitis, listen to Sherry and
think about your Omega 3 and Aloe intake. The Aloe and Omega 3 can make the
transition out of acidity more comfortable.
Thanks so much Sherry. My
family and I are grateful.

SB:
Wow, Rod, you're a true inspiration! And you're living proof that
helping your body heal in a safe, natural way can be VERY effective. Please
write again and let me know how you're doing. I care.
**********
Now
for the rest of you reading this who have colitis, or any other digestive
challenge, you can learn from Rod (and start feeling better like he
has--even if you've been told there is no hope).
What Rod has done is simple:
1) He's eating
easier to digest meals by following the food pairing principles he learned
in the Great Taste No
Pain health system.
When
your body can easily and effectively digest your meals, that not only means
less gas, but also smoother, more regular bowel movements (and less stress
and irritation to an inflamed colon).
Rod's already down from 15
bathroom visits a day to 4-6...and it can only get better from there!
2) He's taking
advantage of safe, natural anti-inflammatories, including Omega-3.
Omega-3
essential fatty acids are our bodies' natural anti-inflammatory. But thanks
to food processing, grain-fed (versus grass-fed) animals raised for meat,
and our heavy reliance on vegetable oils, most people are severely lacking
in this vital nutrient.
Getting
the Omega-3 EFAs you so desperately need is easy with VitalMega-3
fish oil formula.
VitalMega-3
gives your body a daily dose of pharmaceutical-grade Omega-3 oils including
the all-important EPA and DHA recommended by experts in virtually every
study.
VitalMega-3
can help reduce inflammation from head to toe, including inflammation
associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia AND colitis!
3) He's beefing up
his friendly intestinal flora with Super Shield
multi-strain probiotic formula.
The
little, microscopic inhabitants in your gut carry out some BIG functions
when it comes to your health.
Not
only do they comprise between 70-80% of your immune system, but they also
enhance digestion, make your gut wall strong and help keep your bowel
movements smooth and regular.
Great
news for colitis sufferers like Rod, and anyone with a digestive challenge.
If you've got colitis, it's
time for YOU to stop believing that the standard "colitis-isms"
are the gospel and that nothing else can help you.
That's
simply not true.
When
you use safe, natural, effective measures to enhance your digestion,
encourage more regular (non-diarrhea) bowel movements and help your gut
heal, wonderful things can begin to happen for you...just like they have for
Rod.
I
hope you'll see for yourself just how great you can feel.
And
if you do, write and tell me how you're feeling.
To
your health,
Sherry
Brescia

PPS: Randy's seeing a
difference after just one day!
Hi Sherry,
Thanks so much for all your
help and providing such good information.
Last year I was diagnosed with
Colitis and let me tell you it was no picnic. I can't decide what was
worse--the incredible urgency when needing a bathroom or waiting for the
results thinking I had Colon cancer.
This was before I knew of you
and your system of proper eating so the treatment I received was drugs. The
drugs were potent enough that they were worried about kidney function so I
was required to go for blood work every 3 months to monitor my kidneys.
Things improved and I was able
to continue my work which has me out of town eating in restaurants and
camps. Not the best of food by any stretch of the imagination.
Wouldn't you know it--I
started to see a return of symptoms that led to the discovery of Colitis
and this has led me to you.
Great Taste No Pain pain
for 1 day and instantly
my stomach has stopped revolting. It is amazing how what you eat can make
you feel better. Gee go figure, mom was right!
The bloating is already noticeably
less and so is the gas. I can't wait to get into the whole program and
learn how to make it work for me when I travel so much. With the family and
friends support I am getting I believe I will rid myself of digestive tract
issues forever.
It's all thanks to you Sherry,
you're the best.
Randy
