I was diagnosed with acid reflux two weeks ago. I went to my doctor with a multitude of minor complaints. I've had 3 colds since November, I've been constipated, my sinuses are so bad that my eyes look like those of an 80 year old when I wake up every morning, and I've had terrible gas pains.
My doctor diagnosed the acid reflux and the went on to prescribe 5 medications, 2 for allergies, one for acid reflux, a stool softener, and Milk of Magnesia. I knew I didn't want to go that route so I came home and did a lot of research on the computer. I learned that all of my symptoms can be related to the acid reflux. I found your Great Taste No Pain plan online and thought it to be the simplest solution, including traditional and alternative medicine.
I figured I had nothing to lose, and I was right. Yes, I was pain free in a day. The heartburn and most of the burping were gone. I now have been on your plan for a week and I feel a little better every day. The weird feeling I get when the acid comes up, the mucous in my throat and the dry cough are slowly but surely going away. I also enjoy the informative emails you send.
My friends say I look wonderful. I'm less puffy and bloated. I don't have a weight problem, but could lose about 5 lbs, 2 came off without effort in the first week.
Thanks,
Sue
Hi Sherry,
Firstly, thanks you so very much for sharing your information so readily. I am a 51 year young Australian mum who has struggled with constipation for as long as I can remember. To have a bowel movement every 4 days or so was the "norm" for me. I've led a very healthy life with an abundantly healthy diet and yet I could never get the prunes, Psyllium husk, chia seeds, etc. to keep me regular.
My weight could fluctuate 3kg in a day, my stomach would be so bloated and hard, and yet I don't eat junk food or even processed food for that matter. For years I've consumed predominantly vegetables and fruit, large amounts of filtered water daily and still I couldn't maintain a healthy digestive system.
These last six months I've experienced incredible abdominal pain. I've had blood tests, X-rays, ultrasounds, scans and the next step was to be exploratory by a gastroenterologist. I've always seen natural therapists so I didn't follow through with that last appointment. I knew myself that it had to be what I was eating and when I was eating it. I'd kept diaries of my food intake and the discomfort I experienced, but I couldn't put the pieces together to get the final picture I needed.
A late night search of the internet (when I was doubled up in pain but determined to find my answer) led me to your site. Everything I read made sense. I'm frustrated that these simple and common sense dietary "rules" are not taught in our schools and colleges. With our Governments struggling to provide basic health care for their people, you'd think they'd grab this information and spread it throughout the land. I guess that will be left up to myself and all your other grateful customers.
Your simple explanations and easy to follow Great Taste No Pain plan is such a blessing. In only two short weeks I've been pain free, I've lost 2kg, I have renewed energy, and I'm like a broken record - telling all my friends and loved ones how we should all be eating. I've lost too many loved ones in a few short years due to ill health and I am so truly grateful that I stumbled across your information in time to prevent going down a path of sickness myself.
Thank you Sherry, to you and all your team.

Hi Sherry,
At first, I thought what you wrote was literally "too good to be true."
My mother often suffered from indigestion and, since my pre-elementary school days, I also used to have stomach ache for which I could not figure out any reasons.
When I was little, the abdominal pain used to come from nowhere and would disappear in a short while. By my college years, however, bloating and gas would often come with or before the sharp pain in my stomach.
I tried different herbs, meal plans, exercise, meditation, etc.; they did help, but never solved my problems, which continued to grow bigger. During the past 7 years, added to my list of problems was frequent burping. And finally, my GI doctor gave me the diagnosis of acid reflux. Piling up the pillows or not eating/drinking 3-4 hours before sleep appeared to me neither very manageable or worthwhile at all.
Last Friday, I decided to try your Great Taste No Pain food combining. What a change it brought about! I could not remember when was the last time that I had had such a pain/discomfort-free feeling after a meal!!! It was amazing!
I have been telling my family and friends about you and your Great Taste No Pain plan with much excitement! It makes me feel so happy to look forward to my future pain-free and healthy years with great anticipation!
Thank you so much for your wonderful work and wish you all the success!!!
God bless.

Dear Sherry,
I have been suffering with constipation for the last 5 - 6 years. It got so bad that I have developed hemorrhoids. It got really worse when I was pregnant four years ago. I was missing my days of work because of the pain and discomfort. But even after I had my baby I didn't see any significant improvement in my pain and discomfort caused by constipation and hemorrhoids. I had to take laxative every night. Not just that I had to take Metamucil with it.
As a result of chronic constipation I started experiencing other bad things that came as bonus to the constipation. And some of those bad things were:
- Canker sores in my mouth
- gas and bloated feeling. It made my belly look so big that people suspected that I was pregnant again and I simply use to hate it.
I finally decided to end this pain (both physical and emotional) and started doing some research. And that's where I found your Great Taste No Pain program. I tried your program and I started feeling so much better. I am not constipated now. I didn't have to take laxatives or Metamucil now. I also don't feel bloated or gassy all the time. So a big thanks to you and your staff. And I think I have lost some pounds too!!!!!

Hello Sherry,
We are feeling fantastic. No more stomach pain. I feel light, not bloating and don't have any weird food cravings. I have already lost five pounds and counting...I have a ways to go. My husband who was having constant stomach pain and acid reflux and popping antacids constantly...is now pain free...and antacid free as well.
Thank you so much.

Hi Sherry,
I had a diverticulitis operation 12 years ago. I remained in the hospital for 14 days and was sent home to recuperate. It was tough. 3 weeks ago I started experiencing pain in my lower abdomen. My husband rushed me to the emergency room because I was in severe pain. When we left the emergency room 9 hours later, with 2 high powered antibiotics. I though to myself that this cannot happen again.
While I was resting with this recent bout I got on the computer to research diverticulitis and came upon your Great Taste No Pain plan. I started your plan immediately. I have only been on your plan for 1 and 1/2 weeks now, but I said to my husband that I do not have that bloated feeling and all that gas. My bathroom habits are much better now.
I finally feel that there is hope for my not getting this terrible bout again. I will definitely stay on your plan and I will let you know how I am doing in the future. But for now, so far so good.
I also have osteoporosis and I know that your plan can help that also. Once again, I feel that there is hope.
Thank you,
Paula
Hi Sherry,
I was having stomach problems for years. Accompanied with headaches, dizziness, weakness, and sleepiness nights. I was going crazy. I finally had an endoscopy done and they found I had H-Pylori and esophagitis Grade C. I was told by my gastro enologist that I had to change my diet, which I had already done, stopped drinking alcohol, eating spicy foods and was put on Nexium, a proton pump inhibiter. So now no acids in my stomach to digest my food. The esophagitis pain was less but I was so tired. Now that my food wasn’t digesting properly I wasn’t getting enough nutrients to my body. My life was dazed and confused and painful and tiring.
I went on line looking for cures. I tried aloe vera juice, cabbage juice, apples, probiotics, and apple cider vinegar. Then I found your Great Taste No Pain website and decided to try your plan the next day. It was slow going at first but eventually started to work. I slowly weaned myself off the nexium until I was off it completely. I had good results; along with everything else I was doing I started to feel like my old self again. No more pain, bloating, constipation. I’m even sleeping better now. I am so grateful for the plan I followed on greattastenopain program.
Thank you Sherry,

Hello,
I tried your Great Taste No Pain plan method and it worked for me. I have had problems with constipation, nausea and bloating for years.
I came across your article one week before my surgery and thought why not try it. I feel much better and cancelled my surgery. It has been 1 month and I am feeling much better including my digestion.
I seem to be fine and thank you for reminding me about food combining and how it works.
Sincerely,
K.
Hi Sherry,
Thank you so much for helping me get rid of pain and bloating. I have suffered with diverticulitis for 20 years and have had an operation where they removed 18 inches of my bowel. I have been in this fight for 20 years now.
Doctors love medications. It makes me feel that they have shares in the drugs companies!!!! It is criminal that doctors give you no information on how to live with diverticulitis. They are not interested in helping you; they just like taking your money.
Again thank you for your information. I have so much more energy now it’s incredible and I have taken off 12kg on your diet.
Doctors should take a leaf out of your book. Believe me, for anybody with the same problem, try this diet – you will be saving your own life with no medications.
Believe in it. It works!
Kind regards
Keith Andrews
Dear Sherry,
I am 61. I have been diagnosed with reflux, gastritis (had an endoscopy), IBS, diverticulosis (had 3 colonoscopies so far), had a polyp removed. I have diarrhea (first thing when I wake up, up to four times all before 8 am!). It has been going on for the last 15 -20 years at least with my condition worsening overall.
Four years ago, I went to India for six weeks in an Ayurvedic clinic. They detoxed me, it helped but then I became totally intolerant to the strong herbs they gave me (throwing up). I had to stop them. I then tried staying off wheat and dairy products for almost two years. The latter helped somewhat but, being already a strict vegetarian, I found this regimen to difficult to continue.
Gradually my condition again worsened. I came back from a trip to Switzerland (I have family there) at Christmas so sick I decided to do something. After contacting a (new) Gastroenterologist, an acquaintance introduced me to your Great Taste No Pain plan. I have been following your plan and carefully combining my food for the last week and......yes; it has made a HUGE change. I still feel a little bloated (but nothing compared like before) and my bowel movements are still somewhat loose (but improving and they have lessened!).
