I am writing to tell you how very much I appreciate you and all that I have learned from your "Great Taste No Pain" program. I ordered your information immediately after reading your material. I was in the midst of a bout of esophageal discomfort (heartburn, undulating pain upon swallowing), abdominal distention, constipation, aching joints, dental aching, disturbed and restless sleep patterns, ear/nasal congestion, dizziness, compulsive over- eating. Your info was very impressive!
Actually, I have known about food combining for many years. I also was encouraged to take a course on IBS at Kaiser, following my diagnosis by them years ago. I can't imagine why I never put all these ideas together for myself! In this last week, I have benefited tremendously. My stomach and throat are no longer bothersome. Constipation is almost gone. My joints are not painful. Sleep is much improved (night sweats are much less frequent). My appetite is much less and cravings for sweets are greatly reduced.
Isn’t that all amazing?!!! I feel sooo much better . I certainly have not been "perfect" at staying on your pla. But now I really am able to notice when I eat something poorly combined. At last I have the knowledge and confidence that I do have a solution and hope to continue improving. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to finally have a way to improve my own health. Thanks again for all you have done to help me and others.
My sincere best wishes to you always.

Hi Sherry,
For years I have been suffering with arthritis in my knees and fingers. I walk like an old person. After trying your Great Taste No Pain plan two weeks ago, I found myself walking at a faster pace- a pace that I used years ago. When I analyzed this, I realized that the pain in my knees were completely gone. I was shocked. I have tried every known medicine and pain killer for years. Now, I am pain free, thanks to you.
I told all my friends because suddenly they couldn't keep up with me when we walked our usual once around the nearest mall. I feel like a kid again at 78. I don't look my age, and I lead a very active life.
Now that I am pain free I will be able to go back to golf and tennis, my favorite sports. These sports are in addition to my other activities - running a support group for separated/divorced people, lead a book group, and enjoy life.
Many thanks for your interest in sharing your own enlightenment pertaining to illness with others.
Sincerely,
Arlene Kaplan
Hi Sherry,
I have been eating pain free for 10 days now. I feel really good! I have had IBS since I was about 7 years old. I have bad allergies also. My acid reflux started when I was 30 yrs old. I am now 40 yrs old. I have been on prescription medicine for 5 yrs. Before that I took over the counter antacids. The acid reflux has been so bad this year. I have had to take Prevacid in the morning & then Rolaids or Tums before bed & sometimes during the night.
My father was diagnosed w/ Crohn’s disease last year & my mother has Fibromyalgia. I have been scared to go to a Doctor about my problems because I don't want to have all those tests run & have them tell me I need to take tons of medication for the rest of my life. I watch my father struggle w/ his pains & his medication really doesn't help him. The Doctor takes him on & off Steroids quite often.
Having said all this. I did an internet search for help with Crohn’s & found YOU! I began your 4 program immediately. I have noticed several changes in my health already. I was always very bloated before. It was uncomfortable to bend over to tie my shoes or pick something up that had dropped in the floorboard of the car. Now I can bend over easily. I can squat on the ground during my daughter’s soccer game & talk to friends & get back up easily. That probably sounds silly to some people but it was becoming a problem for me. My joints don't hurt as much now. This will sound strange but I feel thin "inside".
I also don't have to take my medication anymore. My reflux does not bother me at all IF I FOLLOW THE RULES. It's funny to say that. I have always hated to follow rules, however these simple rules are easy & what a benefit to have NO PAIN. Another thing I have noticed is that lately I can breathe better. My nose is not stuffed up like it was before. I have polyps in my nose and I don't know if they are shrinking or what, but when I am at the store I can smell everything.
All I can tell you is that I found something wonderful in your plan that works very well for me. I can eat everything I want to & feel good. What is really strange, I don't crave sweets now. I actually want things like squash or nuts or wheat bread. I'm serious! It is funny to me because I used to say I will never like wheat bread & I hated yellow squash. It's nice to not crave the poison I was putting in my body anymore.
Sherry, I'm so sorry you had to suffer w/ IBS for all those years, But I'm very glad you came up with a formula that helps eliminate pain & discomfort for so many of us w/ digestion problems. I really feel like God guided me to your website that day & I am truly thankful!

Hello Sherry,
I've been on your plan for about a month now. I've seen so many changes, I have to list them out. First of all, of course, my diverticulitis went away and fast. I also lost a few pounds right away, which was nice. Then I noticed my sleep improving. This is HUGE,
as I have had practically lethal insomnia, especially over the past year, including a three-month period with no sleep at all, then three months on sleeping pills. Now I fall asleep naturally within a few minutes and wake up only once or twice all night. I can't tell you
what it means to me.
Next: one of the things keeping me up at night was joint pain in one knee and one hip. To control the pain, I had been sleeping (for a few years) on my side with a large pillow lodged between my legs from knee to ankle to keep my legs parallel. No more: pills gone, pillow gone! I still have stiffness in my joints, but it is improving. I had thought that joint replacements were a sure thing one day, but now I think I might not need them. Another chronic for me was constipation (that's why I have diverticulosis). I see improvement in this every day that I'm on your diet plan. Gee I'm really going to miss plugging toilets everywhere I go (my husband says I hold the world's record). Moving right along, I have seen an improvement in my libido! Wahoo! And the hot flashes I have put up with for 10 years are subsiding, as well. It occurs to me that for a 60-year-old I sure was putting up with a lot of health issues! One thing I do not want as I approach retirement is to end up like my mom (age 93), who is on 13 meds a day for this and that. So finally, thank you for changing my outlook. This diet gives me pleasure, energy, rest, and most of all, confidence that I know how to take care of myself.
Thanks again, Sherry. I am telling everybody I know.

Dear Sherry,
I have been on your Great Taste No Pain plan for one week. The results are as you say. I now sleep through the night for 6-7 hours. I have NO leg cramps which kept me awake before. I have no IBS. I have lost three pounds and I find the eating plan easy to follow. I have stopped taking all the vitamins I once took.
Slowly I think I am curing my GERD problem. I feel better and have a lot of energy. I am 74, direct a man’s singing group which performs and I am the organist at church. I don't even take any pain medication for arthritis. Thank you.

Hi Sherry,
Thank you so much for sending me your Great Taste No Pain system. I have been following the regime for 10 days and it is working wonders (I am a long term sufferer with diverticulosis with ALL the related symptoms). Most are already considerably improved or have disappeared - though I still await further relief from flatulence and constipation - but I can see improvements there. Bloating, my arthritis has virtually disappeared - I don't need to use face creams any more. I can wear high heels again without feeling tired. My energy levels have shot up - in fact I am a new person.
Many thanks.
Best wishes,
Isabel Potts
Yes Sherry,
I feel much better since I began following your menu. My energy level has gone up and I do not feel dizzy anymore. I'm sleeping 8 hours now. My arthritic knees feel much better. I'm shopping at Whole Foods now and eating the organic foods that you suggest.
Sincerely,

Hi Sherry,
I've been having terrible problems with hormones (sweating, etc.); then over the past year problems with hypertension (my blood pressure fluctuated from 120 to over
200); I had joint pain, muscle aches, and headaches (sometimes migraines) as well as some depression.
Well, we tried your Great Taste No Pain plan. Wow! This is amazing! I've been reading the testimonies of people who have tried it and found it a "life saver."
Even though I didn't have the problems some of the people have had--I still had health problems.
My husband and I started the plan five days ago and have been strictly following it. You are right, the food is very good and I have enjoyed following the recipes you provided. I've read all of the material you sent and want to thank you for taking the time to correlate all of this information and put it into something we can understand.
So far my arthritis has not bothered me and I've lost about 4 pounds.
I had been retaining water and having a difficult time losing-weight. I was taking Maxide for the water retention and had terrible side effects, so I quit taking it. Now I'm
not retaining water, I feel great and (as you said and others have also stated) I have energy and am thinking clearly--it's amazing!
My husband has noticed that he doesn't have the acid reflux he normally gets after eating (even though it wasn't bad enough for medication he still had it).
I've prayed about direction for our diet and I knew medication was not the answer. Finding your web site was a blessing. Thank you again.

Hi Sherry,
I have followed your plan to treat my acid reflux for only l week now, but I can see and feel a difference in my health. I still take Prilosec, but I haven't had reflux during the night since eating the right foods. My goal is to stop taking Prilosec completely.
The arthritis in my hand is noticeably better even without taking Glucosamine. I want to thank you for your emails that I read daily and your research on health. I am blessed to have found your plan on the internet.
Thank you and God bless you.

Sherry,
This is day 4 of being on the Great Taste No Pain program. I truly believed before I started that it would help me. I kept telling my husband that I was "expecting a miracle".
On New Year's Day, we met our children who were traveling through and had lunch with them at a Mexican restaurant (my absolute favorite food in the world!) That evening my stomach hurt and I had diarrhea the next day. I had had flare ups in the past and have been diagnosed with diverticulitis. I am generally "careful" with what I eat because I don't like pain. But Mexican food is my luxury...I allow myself to have it every couple of weeks. I am sometimes uncomfortable, but not so much as to stop eating it!
The following day I decided I had contacted this violent stomach virus that had been going around - although my symptoms weren't exactly like everyone else’s. I had been receiving your emails for several months, but kept thinking, "I'm not too bad - I don't see that I should alter anything." WRONG!!!!! That little bout of whatever - stomach virus or whatever it was lasted 5 days. Enough is enough. I decided to get your program. I have been following it for a few days, I already feel so much better. No bloating, no indigestion, no waking in the night with reflux. Amazing!!
I thank you so much that you kept sending those emails everyday. I would read them and tell my husband about them. And he kept saying, makes perfect sense - why don't we give it a try. Well I finally did and I am so glad. As a side bar, it is so cold here and typically the cold weather affects me a lot because I have arthritis in my hips. Even as cold as it is, I don't waddle like a duck when I stand up to walk (after sitting for a while). I cannot wait to see what other benefits I am going to reap by being on this food system.
