I bought your Great Taste No Pain plan only a few weeks ago and it has made a big difference in how I feel. It has helped me to keep loosing weight without really trying and at 62 that is not easy. I am not taking blood pressure medicine now and am running 135/84 on the average where before it was always above 140/90 and I could not pass a physical for the CDL to continue driving an 18 wheeler. That was in 2006 and it never went down until I lost weight. When I started dieting my body went all out of whack with heart arrhythmia and electrolyte problems. When that problem was solved I was chronically constipated and couldn't eat right until I found Great Taste No Pain.
Now the weight is still falling off and I feel better. The inflamed stomach linings are healing giving me relief from constipation. Not all better just yet but a huge difference so far.

Hello Sherry,
A couple of years ago following a routine colonoscopy, I was told I had diverticular, and was asked if I experienced any pain. At the time I didn't and didn't think anything more about it until March this year, when suddenly after eating some meals I would experience pain of varying degrees, some quite excruciating.
And I realized here was the diverticulitis. After surfing the internet for several days I found your website, grateful thanks. And your email messages made me realize I had been experiencing symptoms of diverticulitis for several years, gas and quite regular diarrhea, however when the Dr spoke to me he only mentioned the pain, and advised the foods I should avoid, which are the foods I now enjoy, nuts, seeds, tomatoes, etc.
The pain was what spurred me on to surf the net, because I have always had an aversion to prescription medication, because I realized they were not always effective and had varying side affects. The information in your emails made so much sense; I ordered your Great Taste No Pain plan. The recipes I thought were great. I started on the plan and was relieved of the pain, plus the diarrhea and gas although not gone completely initially was reduced markedly.
I also had moderate to high blood pressure and borderline cholesterol which my Dr has been recommending I go on medication. My blood pressure is now normal as is my cholesterol, and I have lost around 8kg in weight. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank I am so grateful for my new lease on life.
Warm Regards
Margaret
Dear Sherry,
I am 67 years old. I just had a bout with diverticulitis, 2 years after the first bout, in spite of the fact I was doing everything the doctors told me to do. I just finished the medications, and found you on line doing research to help myself. I too felt like I was dying. I ordered your Great Taste No Pain plan right away.
I have been following your dietary program for just over one week. I am feeling so much better I can hardly believe it. I have no more reflux, I am sleeping better, I have no more abdominal discomfort, and I do have more energy already! Also, I have lost a total of 13
pounds, (5.5 since I started this program) and I have been trying to lose weight for many years without success. I have checked my blood pressure just to see if the weight loss is helping, and you know what? It is! My blood pressure is way down, even with the Prednisone, and I hope I will one day be able to eliminate medications that I have been on for years!
Thank you so much for giving hope to many of us who have been losing it for so long, and been so frustrated trying to do what the medical profession instructed us to do. Your approach makes things so simple that anyone can do it.
God Bless you in your efforts to educate people! I wish our schools; dietitians, physicians and others would do so well by us!
Forever Grateful,
Kathy Huffman
Hi Sherry,
I am 70 years old. I have been on your Great Taste No Pain plan for about a month. Just after 4 days I have had very little pain. I was sleeping about 3 hours per night because of the pain in lower stomach and acid reflux. I have had problems of and on since I was 18 years old. I have been on all kinds of stomach pills. I have gone now 4 days without taking my Protonix for acid reflux. Have not had any problems.
My pain was so bad that I went to the emergency room at the hospital. The doctor gave me three different antibiotics, and a pain medication, which made it worse. He said I had Diverticulitis and Gerd. The scan showed every thing was clear, except for some ridges. My pain became worse.
I told my wife that I wanted to try your Great Taste No Pain plan. Wow!
The first day of follow your four day plan, that night I sleep 9 hours with no pain at all. I said this was too good to be true. I was always taught if something sound to good to be true leave it alone. Well this is really working. I go back to my Doctor on Dec. 5 cannot wait to tell her about how I am doing.
I lost 10 pounds. My blood pressure has also improved since I started your Great Taste No Pain plan. Ha! No stomach pain. I am a very active person now, I walk two to three miles a day now and I take care of my own yard and garden.

I have had digestion problems since I was a child. The food plan has helped the acid reflux. I think I have a little more energy. I am 83. I have stopped taking Nexium and my blood pressure is much better, I need to get a lower dosage from the doctor.

Hi Sherry,
I have had GERD for at least 10 years. This past February, I broke down and got "scoped" because I was having pain in the middle of the night. Hiatal Hernia was the diagnosis. I was told to take my Prilosec and basically have a nice life. Funny thing...I had been doing that for at least 10 years! There was no mention of diet at all. That wasn't an answer I was satisfied with. I stumbled across your Great Taste No Pain plan while searching on the internet. I started following your program and properly combining my foods and not only has my stomach calmed down; I discovered some side effects I hadn't anticipated.
I had a borderline blood pressure problem. My doc was giving me a month to get it down or I would have to start blood pressure meds. My blood pressure is now in the normal range with NO meds.
For several years I had been taking Crestor for cholesterol. Since Great Taste No Pain, my cholesterol came down 30 points in the first 3 months. I just had my blood tested yesterday (3 months later) and though I don't know the numbers, I was told that I can now stop my Crestor! Whoohoo!
Thank you Sherry!

I have been on your Great Taste No Pain plan for about 4 weeks. I searched the internet for help because I had been having diarrhea for over a month. The Dr. and Specialist
said it was an allergy reaction to Clindamycin, which I was given after surgery on my finger. I am allergic to the medicine that is regularly given for this, and the other medicine is $1000, so most insurances won't pay for it. I told the Specialist I was going to try your food combining plan before I did anything else. He had never heard of it and thought it was a hoax, but he said he was not too old to learn something new. He told me to call him in a week. In a week I was diarrhea free and when I talked to him, he was amazed.
In 4 weeks I have lost 15 pounds, no longer take Prilosec OTC, have no diarrhea and my blood pressure has gone down 20 points to approximately 116/72. I am doing great.
We have had several birthday celebrations, but I have not been tempted to eat the cake I made. I am not hungry, although I am always ready for the next meal or snack. I took my husband to Ruth's Chris Steak House for his birthday. I had a vegetarian meal and it was great.
Thank you,
Shirley Atteberry
Hello Sherry,
Thank you, Thank you. I was living in fear of having either ovarian cancer or colon cancer with the bad bloating that I was getting. I followed your food combining method and found that I am no longer bloated after meals. I have also lost some weight. There is no more diarrhea after meals and on top of that I have found that my blood pressure readings have gone to lower to levels that I have never had before. I am absolutely happy, happy, happy.

My husband found your website and your plan following a trip to the hospital for emergency abdominal surgery for a ruptured colon and peritonitis. He came out with a colostomy. During his recuperation, I began suffering from side affects from the cholesterol and blood pressure medications I was on. I was also suffering from acid reflux and taking Prilosec every day.
We started on your Great Taste No Pain program 3 days ago. Without any medication, my blood pressure has dropped 30 points; I have lost 3 pounds, and have not needed to take any medication for acid reflux! In fact, I can sleep on my stomach without even waking up during the night! My husband has seen a marked improvement in the way he feels, his energy level is returning and his intestines seem happier than they were before the colostomy. (Luckily it is reversible, and he's hoping to have the surgery done sooner now that he's healing faster!)
Thank you for simple, easy to follow methods. We intend to continue to live pain free!!!

Since being on your Great Taste No Pain Plan I truly have experienced that my constipation has all but disappeared. My energy has increased and my stomach is feeling better.
My husband does not like a radical change in any thing; he is slowly getting on the same plan as I am on. I just fix the food I eat and he pretty much follows me, even though he doesn't understand it. His blood pressure medicine seems to be less necessary as before and hopefully he can get off it in time.
