I've had acid reflux for at least ten years. I've been taking nexium for a long time. I also had a lot of gas. After using your diet, I realized I was having less gas. I started taking my medicine every other day. I'm now going to quit all together. The Great Taste No Pain plan is good and very simple to follow.
Thank you so much for the plan. I wasn't sure about doing it at first, but so glad I did.

Hi Sherry,
I can't believe how good it feels after several years to be able to digest my own food and have natural burps without feeling like I will vomit. I am now 59 and began having digestive problems in my late 20's. I would have heartburn and sharp pains in my stomach. I was also constipated most of the time. Over the years, I went through several ultra sounds, x-rays, tests for ulcers, colonoscopy, a test where they put a scope down to my stomach to look at it, and several allergy tests. The result was that they could not
find anything wrong with my stomach or intestines and my diagnosis was gastritis and changed to GERD in 2001. During this time, I tried taking B-12 and folic acid after my evening meal as someone's family doctor had recommended that to her. It seemed to help some, but the pains came back. My family doctor and gastroenterologist put me on protonix. After fours years on it, I began having abdominal pains. I was then switched to Nexium and then when the insurance company didn't want to pay for it, I was put prilosec. I have been taking it for two years. After reading recently about how proton pump inhibiters increase the risk for hip fractures. I decided to find a way to get off the prilosec. I went to Google and searched GERD and found your website.
I started on your Great Taste No Pain plan 9 days ago and immediately quit taking the B12 and folic acid. I was leery about going off my prilosec as I didn't want to have that feeling of having to vomit every time I ate. The first seven days I stayed on your plan and kept taking prilosec. On the day eight and nine, I got brave and went off my prilosec. Your diet has helped my stomach feel lighter having no gas, bloating, or pains. I am now
digesting my food without any help from the prilosec. What a great relief!!!!! I have lost 3 1/2 pounds in those nine days. I am sleeping through the night and feel more refreshed when I wake up in the morning. My energy level as also improved and I no longer have problems with constipation.
I have also been able to quit taking two ibuprofen every morning. I was taking them to help the stiffness and pain in the joints in my fingers. I no longer need them as my finger joints no longer feel stiff or painful.
Thanks again, Sherry, for giving us a natural way to solve our digestive
problems.
Happy eating,

Hi Sherry,
I have been on your Great Taste No Pain program for 20 days. I have only taken 1 nexium since starting. I now have more energy than I had before. Besides having GERD I also have Fibromyalgia. I am not one to take medications if not necessary, so, your program has been one that I have been looking for, for a long time. I fell off the program for one day and realized what a great program you have. I enjoy very much receiving your e-mails. I plan to share this with my doctor when I see him in September

Hi Sherry,
I must say it did work. I was suffering from acid reflux and I have a hiatal hernia. I found by following your Great Taste No Pain plan I feel fine and stopped taking Zegerid which I was taking twice a day.
Thanks so much

Sherry,
I've been on your Great Taste No Pain plan for about a week now and I noticed a dramatic difference. I've had a bit of GERD but I would say it's 85-90% better already. I've read most of your program already and I look forward to continuing down this path. I'm even going to talk to my sister and mother who suffer from some of the same things I've struggled with. Yes it's hard to make a lifestyle change but to me it's much more beneficial to feel great and have more energy and not have to take alka seltzer day in and day out. I want to live as long as I can. I lost my father last year to colon cancer, he was only 61, and as a kid I always remember him having heartburn and headaches and he would take alka seltzer all the time. That's where I found myself, taking alka seltzer a lot. So I can give up those things to be around here longer for my kids and feel great too.
I really am glad I did a search and found your website. I'm looking forward to continuing this way of eating and I thank you for your help.

Hi, Sherry
I found your Great Taste No Pain website after I was diagnosed with esophageal ulcers and told they were from using too many Non-aspirin pain relievers. However, I had taken very few of them in my lifetime. So then was told they were from acid reflux. Since I have had very few symptoms of heartburn or other gastric conditions, I was unaware that I had a problem until I was put on Omeprazole (antacid). Wow, then I had symptoms that were unmistakable!
So I went online to do my own research and found your website. I immediately started using your system, and all of my symptoms have disappeared AND I have lost about 17 lbs. in three months. I am off the Omeprazole and FEEL GREAT!
Thanks for the wonderful information you shared!

Hi Sherry,
I too have a story to tell. I have been having indigestion and heartburn for months. My Primary Dr. suggested I take Prilosec and that didn't seem to always do the job anymore because I found myself taking Tums to put the fire out in my stomach. I continued to experience the indigestion and heartburn. Then I started to get the reflux at night
even with taking Prilosec & Tums.
I really didn't want to go through all the invasive tests that would diagnosis what I thought may be the problem. So I started to look up Symptoms of Ulcers on line. That led me to you. I tried your Great Taste No Pain plan. I couldn't believe that in 1 day, (did I say 1 day?) without Prilosec or Tums, the constant burn in my stomach was gone and I could sleep all night without reflux waking me up.
I carry the pocket guide with me to help combine foods while eating out. Since this helped me so quickly, I have been spreading the word to co-workers and relatives. I also told them that I've lost 6 pounds in the 2 weeks I have been eating the Great Taste No Pain plan food combinations. I also go to Curves 4 times a week to work out. I am 66 years old and still work. I have more energy than I did before and love it. I feel so much
healthier.
Thank you so much for helping me and so many others with your Great Taste No Pain plan.

Hi Sherrie,
I just want to thank you for your Great Taste No Pain programme. I have been struggling for months with acid reflux and tummy discomfort. I tried it and I am completely free from pain and acid reflux. Thanks for all your wonderful information that has given me a boast.
Kindly,
Christine Oosthuizen
Dear Sherry,
I've been making changes according to your program, and I can happily say that within the space of a week my problems with esophageal spasm and reflux have settled right down, and it is such a relief to be free of the awful 'choking' sensation in my throat, and feeling as if food is stuck there all the time!
I cannot begin to say how grateful I am that I stumbled across your website. I'd had enough of this difficulty, especially when it got to the stage of mimicking a heart attack - so, I wasn't sure whether it was heart after all, or digestive stuff going on. My doctor said it was likely to be spasm and reflux, but has put me on an antacid for a month, and then he wants to do an endoscopy after that time if things haven't changed. Well, things have
changed, all right, and I haven't even had the script for the antacid filled!
So, you're an angel, and thank you so much for being the amazing woman you are in compiling such a well organized program, that's absolutely easy and yummy! I was certainly guided to stumble across your website!
With much appreciation, to say the least!

While my story is short and sweet, it's just the beginning, I'm sure!
About three months ago I was awakened every night by a dry cough, many times. I was to the point that I was taking Nyquil, Benadryl AND Codeine cough syrup just to sleep. My primary care physician and my pulmonologist for asthma both told me they thought I had reflux. I was in denial for a long time, it HAD to be something else. I was not getting on drugs that would cause more problems than they would fix.
Well, I got desperate enough, to get off the Codeine, etc. so I tried it. I was on Zantac first. Gave me heartburn and helped my cough for one night only. My other doctor put me on Prilosec, gave me even more heartburn but did not help my cough.
Finally, I thought there's got to be a better way. Then I found you! I read everything I could find on you and could not find anything negative about you or your Great Taste No Pain program. I had to try it. As soon as I followed your suggestions I stopped coughing! I now am totally (night) cough free, no heartburn and my body is still adjusting to a new way of eating but will soon be healthier than I've been in a long time. ...and of course, I am NOT on any medication (for coughing or reflux). I told my doctor's I would not take any more of that junk that's giving me heartburn.
Oh yeah, I didn't have a lot of weight to lose but wanted to weigh a little less. I've lost weight naturally and I love my scale now. :)
Thanks so much for representing a real approach to health. I will tell my doctors what has happened. I know they'll just tell me it must not be reflux; because they won't know what else to say.
