During April 2010 I was diagnosed with cancer. I had been vegetarian for twenty plus years but following my diagnosis I gave up dairy products, sugars and all refined foods. I didn't consider that I had a digestive problem but was interested about your reports on an acid free body and hence started your programme.

Within just one day my energy had doubled and I no longer felt like I needed a really deep sleep mid afternoon. The following day I felt more alert and many of my daily niggly aches had disappeared and despite long term insomnia, slept better that I had done for many years. Many of our daily maladies are forgotten when we no longer suffer from them, but looking back we can see a major difference. I suddenly realized that I had no longer been suffering from my recurrent migraine headaches or frequent bouts of thrush! Wow! ....and I didn't consider that I had any digestive problems. How many more health issues is this system going to improve, reduce or eradicate with a bit more time?

I really like the way that you explain the system in a simple and understandable way. For the skeptics amongst us I can liken it to putting the oil, water and brake fluid into the same slot and wondering why none of the systems work.

I have a very busy lifestyle and need lots of energy without depleting myself. I am a member of the National Sidesaddle Association Display Team and continue to do this as well as my everyday life whilst fighting my condition.

Kind regards

Sherry,

I started your Great Taste No Pain plan a few weeks ago. I am 47 and very active and from age 16 to about 43 I weighed a consistent 135 lbs. About a month ago I was up to 155 lbs. I noticed I was getting fatigued at about 2 in the afternoon. Also at night after our usual meat and starch dinner I would feel full yet still had a hungry feeling and would want to eat.

Since starting your plan I have lost 8 lbs. and I am getting through the afternoon without any sluggishness. By snacking on individual food groups through the day, I don't get that "crashing" feeling I used to get after eating a lunch where my food combinations were not correct.

I am trying the system on my kids and so far they have been pretty good about following it.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Sherry,

I have been with acid reflux for ten years and my doctor recommended Prilosec but I am Tired of taking medicines. Several months ago I started to check what foods produce in me acid reflux and they were sugar, breads pasta, tomato sauce, and deserts. I eliminate them from my meals and I was be able to take the pills every two days.

Now that I ordered your Great Taste No Pain plan and started following how to combine the foods I have stopped taking the Prilosec. I do not have acid reflux and also I have more energy.

I want to thank you for your research. You have been the answer to my prayers.

Thank you,

Hi Sherry!

I have been on the great taste no pain way of eating for about 3 weeks now. After the first 2 days I really saw a difference. Ever since I had a major abdominal surgery in 2006 I would get severely bloated and suffered digestive upsets after I would eat. I especially could not stand my stomach swelling like I was 9 months pregnant any longer and what a Godsend your eating plan has been. I feel lighter and have more energy--just like all the testimonials have said and my stomach has gone way down and I know I’m losing weight although I haven't weighed yet.

I told a friend and she's telling others and my sister is trying this way of eating to lessen her heartburn symptoms and lose weight. I can already tell my sister is losing weight and looking less puffy and she feels much better--and both of us have lost our crazy desire for sweets and we're able to be in control over food--that's something we never had the power to do before.

Your eating system is GREAT and we are thankful to have found it. May God be praised!!

Sincerely,

Joy 

Hi Sherry,

I am from Scotland, UK and have been on your Great Taste No Pain plan. I am so pleased with early results. From day 1 my energy levels were up, my bloating has reduced, abdominal pain and choking sensation gone.

On day four I have a remarkably reducing tummy and midriff! It is all so exciting. I am loving the food choices. I have been on LANSOPRAZOLE to reduce acid but can now envisage a life without it.

I am so glad I came across your website.

Many Thanks

Hi Sherry,

I have been struggling with Crohn's disease for about 6 years, and the example you gave below is exactly why I turned to your diet for help.

I decided to go off my medications last year after trying various ones that did not make any discernable difference in my symptoms. Since then, I have not felt any better but comforted myself in the fact that at least I wouldn't have liver damage from the meds on top of having Crohn's disease.

My mom has been telling me for years to improve my diet and only eat natural foods (you would like her). The trouble was, I would try to eat "healthy" and find no improvement in my symptoms, and then quickly go back to comfort foods with the attitude that if I was going to feel bad either way, I might as well not worry too much about what I eat.

Unfortunately, this is the same attitude that I get from doctors and "experts" when I'd enquire about a diet for Crohn's. All the information available about diet for Crohn's sufferers can be summed up in: "there is no special diet for Crohn's" and "don't eat a lot of fiber such as raw vegetables and fruits" and "pay attention to trigger foods that make you sick". For months after I was diagnosed I kept a food journal, only to find that a food that I ate without incident one day would turn out to be a "trigger" the next day. This frustrating realization made me abandon the idea that an improved diet could help me.

Then about 2 weeks ago, I was feeling sicker than I've felt in a long time. I'm getting married in 5 weeks, and I had thoughts of canceling the ceremony to prevent an embarrassing Crohn's related accident in my beautiful ivory lace dress in front of all of my friends and family. So although I had no hope of finding any information (thanks to previous experience) I went online and searched for a diet that would help with Crohn's disease.

That's when I found your solution. I've been on your plan and I am finding it easy to follow and I feel great! Not only do I have much less bathroom trips throughout the day, I have more energy - even my coworkers have noticed (they are actually quite annoyed with my chipper attitude in the afternoon when they are all groggy from their lunch and I am not). And I have to tell you, I really had no faith that it would help me at all, so I tested it by eating a lot of things I've been advised not to eat. Salads - all those raw vegetables, pears, bananas, blackberries, blueberries, grapes! Last night I even made a vegetarian chili with habanera pepper sauce in it, with no ill affects because it was properly combined.

I'm so excited - I'm telling everyone I know about this plan. It makes scientific sense, it's not very restrictive, and it works. I can't thank you enough for your help! Keep sending the emails - I love the support!

Hi Sherry,

After over a year of daily acid reflux pain and experimenting with all kinds of medications and natural home remedies, I've been following your Great Taste No Pain plan about food combining--with great results! Thanks for steering me in the right direction! I feel light, energetic and pain-free!

After adapting to the change in the consumption of your Great Taste No Pain dietary plan, the esophagitis and diverticulosis have improved greatly. There's more mental clarity and improved energy level. YES!

Dear Sherry,

I cannot thank you enough for your common sense approach to my pain of heartburn, gas and bloating. Last week I had to go to the hospital. I was given morphine for pain and sent home with 3 prescriptions. I felt there had to be another way to attack this.

I feel fortunate in discovering your Great Taste No Pain plan. After more than 10 years I was truly free of bloating, gas and heartburn pain. No more pills. I find myself with more energy and sleeping better.

Thank you, Thank you!

I've been following your Great Taste No Pain guidelines for and I have noticed a big improvement. Not only is my energy up but I've my body is starting to change. My waist has shrunk enough in this short time and the jeans that were snugly uncomfortable are not digging in at the waist! I've also noticed that my stomach is flatter. Bloating be gone!

I've been working with a naturopath/acupuncture/Chinese herbalist for four years now. He's the one who diagnosed gluten intolerance and took me off all wheat/gluten and dairy. My health has steadily improved along with my diet, but the extra 20 lbs has stubbornly stuck around. Following his advice, I started exploring food combining and found your site. The Great Taste No Pain publication laid out a simple plan to test this...and what a difference in so short a time. I've ordered your more in-depth materials and am excited about going further into this food combining. Thank you so much!
