I am writing to you after eating the Great Taste - No Pain way of food combining for a week.
My problems began at the age of 10, a couple of months after moving from Poland to Germany. I had no energy and felt lethargic till mid afternoon; even though there were
no mental problems and all blood work came back perfect.
I was eating what I thought was healthy food but it seemed as if my body didn't absorb enough nutrients anymore. I had frequent stomach aches, constipation, gas, and felt
miserable overall. It continued throughout my adult life and became just a part of me since I didn't want to take any pills.
After reading your book everything comes together and makes sense again.
Anyway I see how the food combinations in Germany and the USA affected me and my digestive system. It took all my energy to digest breakfast, then after a couple of hours my energy went up just to be muffled by another lunch miscombination.
I can't tell you how great I felt after the first day of Great Taste No Pain! By the second day I was zooming around getting stuff done in the early morning which was so
seldom for me before. I had lots of energy all day long. And no pain, gas, belching or burping whatsoever!
The right breakfast with the right food combinations will do it without messing up your
stomach in the process. Thank you for another benefit I noticed, that my breath smells much better now. It was pretty bad before although I brush my teeth.
Thank you again Sherry for writing this book and giving me back a pain free life!
Warm Greetings,

I've been an RN for 28 years. I've seen so many people over the years that I knew were so toxic because their bodies were loaded down with waste. When I did home health, in so many cases, I knew the first accomplishment would be to get them cleaned out, if possible, before any other body system improved. The thing I have discovered is that you can tell people how they should eat or what they should or shouldn't do but you can't make them.
I have worked with pregnant women many of my years and have had discussions with physicians regarding the illnesses of pregnant women. I have discussed my thoughts regarding the diet and elimination processes, for example, the frequency and causes of
toxemia of pregnancy. I practically got laughed at and was told by one doctor that if I could figure out the cause of toxemia that I could win the Nobel Prize for Medicine. I just wanted to say to him first of all, was DA--DA!! Let's begin with the most simple concept first. One person's body has to nourish, oxygenate, and to eliminate for two
now---TOXEMIA--(a build up of toxins in the body.)
Myself, I feel so much better, have much more energy. My mind is clearer and I can so focus now and couldn't before. I feel as though my mind is waking up. After eating like I do now, rather than the way I ate before, I don't look and feel like I'm nine months pregnant before I go to bed!!!
Thanks for this opportunity!

Hi Sherry,
Thanks for this great opportunity. I HAVE experienced incredible results! The very first night of not combining certain foods, I told my husband that it felt like, for the first time in three years, my stomach wasn't mad at me anymore.
I am definitely a believer and I continue sharing with everyone who will listen how much better I feel, how much more energy I have and how delicious your corn chowder is!
Thanks so much for all you do in helping those around you feel better.
Very sincerely yours,
Laura Segura
Hi Sherry,
Our story may be a bit different from many due to the fact that my wife and I both had bariatric surgery (gastric bypass) 4 years ago. As a result, our digestive systems do
not produce near the amount of acids to break down foods that normal stomachs do.
However, the surgery requires an even more careful selection of food. There is an ongoing battle to balance nutritional needs while fighting nausea and pain.
After receiving your material, we have completely changed our shopping list and meals.
We plan our meal combinations much more carefully and we are having fun experimenting with the new recipes.
It then occurred to us, since we have been doing this, we have had pain free days and nights and each day we have felt a little better mental awareness, a sense of wellness,
and more "spring in our step."
This system is making a difference. We feel we are on a better path towards a healthy lifestyle.
Thank you!

Hello Sherry,
I'm only 2 days into your program and am feeling really good. I have to say I am a bit surprised.
I did not have stomach pains--I purchased the program because I do need to lose some weight. And I have been told by my doctor that I need to go on cholesterol meds and
do not want to be taking those for the rest of my life.
All of the years of me thinking I was eating fairly well were very wrong. By the second day of eating this way, my energy level had increased and my bowel movements had
become more frequent.
I was thinking about ordering one of those products they have been advertising like crazy on TV lately to clean your colon. I no longer think I need to do that.
I am sleeping better than I have in years I have even been waking up before my alarm rings in the morning and do not feel like I need a nap by 10:00 AM.

Hi Sherry,
What I originally wanted as a result of your plan was just no pain. I have been really surprised by the other benefits.
There seems no end to my energy and I have started losing weight. After just 4 weeks following your plan, I no longer experience the horrible symptoms of colitis. I have cut back on my medication Pentasa, which I thought I was on for life.
I know I can soon be off all medication forever. I just feel great, that's the bonus.
I can't thank you enough for introducing me to this plan which has really changed my life in such a short time!

Sherry,
I had to write you and tell you of the success I have had since using the food combining principles I learned in your “Great taste, No Pain” book. First, let me start by thanking you for opening up my eyes. I had always had discomfort after eating, felt bloated, tired, stomach pain etc…….but had grown accustomed to dealing with the discomfort. I didn’t realize how much pain I was actually in until I changed how I combined my food. When you expect a stomachache after a meal, it’s nothing short of a miracle when you realize that you’ve gone through the entire day without pain!!
The wonderful part of what I’ve learned through your book is that you don’t have to give up anything as long as you combine it properly. Because of this, I was able to easily follow the food combining guidelines knowing that if I couldn’t have something this meal, I would build it into my next meal. I didn’t feel deprived or like I was missing anything, which was generally how I’ve felt before when trying to alter my eating habits.
Another wonderful, but not so expected outcome was weight loss. I have always battled with my weight, and since using your techniques for the last few months I have been able to lose over 20 lbs without any additional exercise then I had been doing previously. I am now the size and shape that is right and healthy for my body. My body feels better, lighter... ENERGIZED!!!! I just can’t imagine EVER going back to the way I ate before.
Thank you again, Sherry. Learning the correct way to eat has changed my life and if writing this story has influenced even one other individual to try your book and change theirs, then it was well worth it.

Hi Sherry,
I have had such a shift of sustained energy from the 4 day plan. In the 1st day and a half, I was skeptical.
My energy has completely shifted and I have been nicknamed the ever ready bunny by friends and family!!! This is quite a change from last week before I began the plan. I was becoming the Queen of the 15 minute power nap....
The 5 lbs I have dropped effortlessly is an added bonus, but the greatest gift of all is that
I DO NOT have any acid reflux that took me by surprise when I would lie down. The burping and pain in my throat is gone. The most incredible thing happens - I sleep soundly. As if I was a kid without any cares or worries in the world!! And when I wake up I am not reaching for tissue to blow my runny nose!
I haven't needed to take any antacids, and aspirin/ibuprofen for queasy stomachaches and headaches. I only wish I had discovered these years ago I feel wonderful and happier - it is quite a delightful to feel this fabulous and a radically DIFFERENT & fast result from such simple effortless changes!!
Thank You Thank You Thank You for sharing this wonderful information!!!
It is so simple - I am happily astounded. Thanks so much -

Hi Sherry,
Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to use your program. I DID feel a difference and I learned a lot about myself, and my eating habits!
The first two days I felt "lighter" than usual. I did have more energy, and was better able to handle the demands of late nights and daily stressors that I was experiencing. It wasn't until I "fell off the program" the following day that I realized how "heavy" and bloated I usually feel.
I restarted the program with much the same experience. I felt the energy returning and just felt better overall. (That, in turn, encouraged me to get out and walk more this week too!) When I fell off the program the second time, I noticed my breathing to be more - labored - after dinner.
Each day I followed the Great Taste plan I felt like I was taking better care of my body. I was rewarded with a lighter step and more energy. I felt no need to check my sugar levels because I knew they were where they should be. When I look back to times in my life when I felt my healthiest and had the most energy, I realize that my eating habits then were much more in line with what you recommend in your book now. I was energetic and without the pain, discomfort, or breathing issues that, I was experiencing prior to Great Taste No Pain.
I'm looking forward to trying out more recipes and sticking to the combinations.
I'm also looking forward getting my mom and husband on board since they have more stomach issues than I do.
Your program is great because there are no "special foods" required. I can get everything at my regular grocery store. Contrary to my start again, stop again experience; it's not difficult to follow. I actually managed just fine at the Christening celebration, and with practice will have the desire to stick with it during holiday and birthday parties too!
Thanks again, Sherry. I think the book will help a lot of people, including those in my life!
