Thanks for the "Great Taste No Pain" food-combining system. For well over a year now, I am certain, when I first began to eat a meal I would have this horrible burning in my esophagus that would sometimes literally take my breath away. I tried to pinpoint foods that seemed to be causing the problem, but it happened no matter what I ate. After a few bites, I was usually fine. I determined that I was going to have to see a doctor to see if my esophagus was damaged from gagging every morning on phlegm caused supposedly by allergies and sinus problems.
One night I couldn't go to sleep, even sitting up, because I had the worst heartburn I have ever experienced in my life. I took some Maalox Advanced twice. Nothing helped. I woke my husband up and he said perhaps I was having a heart attack. That scared me enough to get on my computer (by then it was 1:00 AM) and read about the symptoms of a heart attack. Almost immediately, I found a link describing how to tell the difference between a heart attack and heartburn and I was directed to your site. I believe that was of the Lord. I read the information until 3:00 AM when I finally went back to bed and was able to go to sleep.
We ordered your Great Taste No Pain program. Both my husband and I have been doing the food combining ever since. I have no problem eating. We are off all antacids, have more energy, and are sleeping like babies. Thanks so much for changing our lives forever!

My husband and I are in our mid and late 50s and have been very health conscious for 30 years. For 20 years I had eaten vegetarian 88 of 90 meals per month. I usually fast on lemon water and green drink for breakfast but sometimes eat a few raw walnuts with an apple. Legumes or 1-2 ounces of mozzarella per day were my protein sources, and I usually had a large salad every day. I drank a Dr. Pepper a couple of days per week when under the most stress to prepare for teaching. I knew it was bad but needed the pick up (DP had stopped delivering any pick up!). In spite of trying so hard, I could not lose 25 unwanted pounds. Practically starving myself didn't work; exercise did not work. I've been very frustrated.
For the last 6 months, my husband's only protein source has been legumes and an egg at bed time, yet he had almost daily upper GI distress. On Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live diet, we combined fruit and starch.
We began your Great Taste No Pain program and now my husband is sleeping better, and his hiatal hernia and upper GI distress are greatly diminished. I have lost 5 pounds and am so grateful.
Thank you!

I'm 67 and have had stomach problems all my life. Four weeks ago I had to have my gallbladder removed. Then my problems really started. My bile ducts were blocked so they had to put in stints. I couldn't eat anything without getting reflux. I had to get some relief. My doctor wasn't any help at all.
I found your website and decided to give your Great Taste No Pain plan a try. I can finally sleep at night and my reflux is gone. I have been on blood pressure meds for years and my blood pressure is back to normal.
Thanks for your help.

Sherry,
I have been on your Great Taste NO Pain. Immediately ready I had no painful heartburn, stomach discomfort. I sleep better. WOW I was tired of being sick with my stomach problems and being so sick every time I ate. I went on line to look up Acid reflux and I saw your link. Sherry you have changed my life with your plan. My husband is so excited that I am not sick any more. I know it’s only going to get better. I have already started to loose those unwanted pounds.
I wish I had your Business cards to give out I already started to tell people about your book. I can never say thank you enough.
Sincerely

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!

Hi Sherry,
I wrote to my doctor and asked him for literature for the way I have to eat now and asked him for a meal plan for 1200 calories for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and a couple snacks so we will see what happens if anything.
They just told me to keep juicing like I did before I went in for my colonoscopy and had a blockage. Thank God I had enough knowledge to juice and not eat anymore to make the blockage worse. They told me at the hospital that was why I didn't have to have some of my colon cut off or have the bag on me. Thank God for that.
No one told me to combine foods a certain way like you did but in 1984 I was allergic to 32 foods and did not drink liquid at meals or eat the foods at all and when I did eat other food that wasn't on my list not to eat the food for another 4 days then I could eat the food
again. Other than that after 1 1/2 years I was ok. But I didn't eat any of the 32 foods in any combination.
My doctor told me to eat low fiber foods and not broccoli or brussel sprouts and to eat white bread, Heavens I haven't eaten White Toxic Bread in 60 years.
Since on your Great Taste No Pain plan I haven't been hurting or bloating and seem to have lots more energy. I have also been sleeping much better.
Thank you very much and glad I got on the internet trying to find out about diverticulosis.

I am a 68 year old woman. I have ordered three sets of your Great Taste No Pain plan.
I may order more as more and more of my friends are wanting to eat this way. I cook meals and have classes at my home.
I fought insomnia for years. I had ballooned up to 169 pounds. I got your plan about a year ago and as long as I stay on it I sleep like a brick, have NO bowel problems, and now weigh 132 pounds.
If this helps anyone to decide to try this program, they surely have my endorsement.

Sherry,
Just felt that I should let you know about my story. I am 59. About three months ago, out of the blue, I began having horrible heartburn and acid reflux. In just a couple of weeks, I was not going without sleep several nights a week and none of the "natural" remedies I tried helped, nor did over-the-counter meds. My doctor, of course, prescribed a proton pump inhibitor, but I was convinced that I could find a natural way to manage this condition. After buying several books on the subject and purchasing an expensive wedge pillow to sleep on, and trying all kinds of supplements, I was still having issues. I lost 16 pounds in two months (menopausal fat--the only upside!) and was missing work because of not sleeping well. Out of desperation, I finally began to take the purple pill, which helped the heartburn, but not the reflux. A GI doctor said I needed to be scoped and would need to take a pill every day for the rest of my life.
Because I have never had a serious health issue before, I became very depressed, as conventional medicine was telling me that there was no cure. Even if I had a hiatal hernia, the only remedy was surgery, and the research I did on that was not comforting.
Then a friend told me about your website. What you said on the site immediately made logical sense to me. I decided to try your Great Taste No Pain plan. I felt better on day 1. It's now been a month and I have been off the pills and sleeping better than I have in decades. I feel like a new person and am committed to staying on the program, even though I do travel a lot. I KNEW there had to be a way to address the CAUSE rather than just the symptoms, and I can't thank you enough for putting this information into a format that is easy to understand and implement. I just had my scope, and it was completely normal in every way! My friend, who has been diagnosed with reflux, gastritis, and hiatal hernia, is also doing well on the program. We celebrated last week with by going out for lunch, properly combined, of course!
Thank you for giving me my life back,

Hi Sherry,
I was diagnosed with GERD about 6 months ago. The doctor gave me a booklet with do's and don'ts, a prescription for protonix, and told me to call him if I didn't feel better.
Well, I tried to follow the diet in the booklet, and take the protonix, but it didn't work. About two weeks ago I had such terrible heart burn, chest pain, and stomach pains that I literally thought I was having a heart attack! I knew it was the GERD acting up so I went on the internet determined to find instant relief for my pain. I clicked into several web sites promising to end the GERD (even the purple pill has a web site with recipes and a diet), but the only advice they had was the one my doctor had already given me. Then, I came upon your web site (thank God!) You claimed that if I tried your Great Taste No Pain plan, I would feel instant relief. I thought what the heck, I have nothing to loose and everything to gain if the heart burn stopped.
When I read the plan, I was very skeptical as I didn't think this could possibly help me as you claimed it would. Well, I have to tell you, I WAS WRONG!!!! I tried your plan for one day, and that night I had NO heartburn, NO chest pain, and was able to sleep through the night!!! It was like a miracle. I am happy to say I am feeling SOOOOO much better. No longer do I have that nasty acid slipping back up my throat, no chest pain, no difficulty breathing, no sore throat, no stomach pains. Now I'm trying to get my family members who have the same problem start on your program. Now I plan my meals based on the program, and I check the book before I put anything in my mouth! I never want to suffer like that again!!!
Thank you Sherry for listening to your body, and taking the time to develop your program.
It is a God send!!
Blessings,
Ana Jackson
I thought I was eating healthy. I was eating all the right foods but in the
wrong combinations. The foods is awesome, WE eat less and feel just as
full. I never slept more than 4hrs a night. Since Great Taste/ No Pain I
sleep like some one has given me a sleeping pill. I can't thank you enough
for sharing this with the rest of the world. I do take 2 blood pressure
meds. and Red Yeast Rice for cholesterol. I can't wait to see what happens
with that. I founds you through my diverticulitis. I never want to go
through this again or the cure. I'm not sure witch is worse. With the
suggestions from you we are eating better than we've ever eaten in our
lives. I love to cook!.
My situation is unique because I'm scheduled for a Cats scan on June 10 at
which time we will officially know how well this is working. My stomach is
flatter than it has been in years with out the bloating. As I said in my
email I just sent you I'm sleeping better than I have in years. That in
it's self is worth changing my way off eating. My husband has diabetes and
is pretty much following this also. It will take a while to get him
completely changed over.
