It is true, after watching my food combing for the past three weeks, my constipation of many years has greatly diminished. I now take just 1/4 the amount of Senokot that I have needed to take for years.
It's quite amazing.
Thank you for your most helpful suggestion. It has really helped me so much and I am grateful.

Hi Sherry,
After following the Great Taste No Pain plan I no longer suffer from acid reflux, no more constipation, AND I sleep a whole lot better than I did 3 months ago.
Thank You!!!! You have made me a happy camper again.

I have just started following your Great Taste No Pain plan and finding myself very satisfied. My bloating and gas is dissipating and the constipation symptoms easing. Learning a lot about not combining certain foods,
Very nice,

Hi Sherry,
I have been following your book Great Taste No Pain VERY carefully, and I am having unbelievably good results. I say "unbelievably" because I was beginning to think that nothing could help me.
My stomach "issues" started back in 2001 when I was forty-three years old. I would get terrific stomach pain AFTER I ate, BEFORE I ate when there wasn't much food in my stomach, AND during the night - the pain would wake me up. I had tried so many things over the years: Aloe, Glutamine powder, DGL black licorice tablets, Zypan, Tums, Gaviscon, and Tagamet. Then last summer, I started vomiting up acid (the vomiting started again last month) and ended up in the emergency room. I was given a prescription for Prilosec.
I was determined that I didn't want to take Prilosec for the rest of my life. . . . I was on the internet one day and found your website. I have ordered your Great Taste No Pain plan and am SO excited and hopeful thinking that proper food combining is the answer to my prayers. Like I previously mentioned, I am following your suggestions very carefully. I believe my body is in need of quite a bit of healing, and I am determined to get and stay healthy again.
I have been off the Prilosec for over two weeks now, and I have not had any stomach issues so far: no acid reflux, no burning in my stomach, no vomiting up acid, and no constipation. I am getting so much more rest now . . . I am not up at night battling stomach pain. I have so much more energy . . . I used to struggle to keep my eyes open around 2:00 in the afternoon every day. I feel GREAT - better than I have in a long long time.
Thank you, Sherry, for sharing your knowledge with those of us who are tired of suffering from digestive issues . . . and there must be many of us. (In the past five to ten years, an entire wing was built onto a hospital in my area that is devoted just to digestive problems!)
I consider you a true friend!

Hi Sherry,
I have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis about 1 year ago. Actually I was at the hospital 1 year today. I have always had digestive issues. I just didn't know what. In my 20's they told me I had a lazy sphincter in my esophagus and I will have to take antacids as needed. I have always had constipation and never was regular. As a matter of fact I
thought 1 time per week was normal. As I got older my symptoms became much
more! Like pain and couldn't get out of bed for a day, felt like I had to have a bowel movement but couldn't go and the blood every hour for days with God awful cramps!
That is when I went to the hospital last year, they did a cat scan and told me I had ulcerative colitis and would need antibiotics for a couple weeks and should follow up with a Gastrologist. I needed a colonoscopy anyway as I was going to turn 50 the very next month, but I need to be off the antibiotics for 1 week before they could perform the
procedure. Of course I was told I was fine and I could come back for another in 10 years. I asked him about this colitis and what to do about, his response: "nothing you can do." How can I be sure I never get that again? His response; " you can't it comes and goes whenever. I said how will I know if I need an antibiotic or not? His response; "you will know if it does not go away" So I prayed a lot, hoping I would never go through that
again. That worked for 10 months.
I was able to stay out of bed, but still had bloating and gas everyday. Then it came back again exactly 1 month to the day. I called the Dr. and he said you will get though it just stay on liquids until the diarrhea stops and take Imodium every 4 hours. That's when I had a break down and did my own research for a diet or something and found you. Thank the LORD!!!! I am a new person. I am never bloated or gassy and feel 4 months pregnant. I go everyday.
Thank you Sherry for giving me my life back. If I didn't find you I was going to have to search for a new Dr. who may have put me on medication the rest of my life which I don't think would have been very long. By the way you have a lot of people talking about losing weight which is great if you need it, but for those people who are small to begin with this will also help you gain the weight you need. I am 5'6" and went down to 103 LB from drinking fluids for 5 days or so two months in a row. I was never a big person to begin with, now I look back and I know why. Sherry everything I ate before were all the wrong combinations. I wonder if I ever got any nutrition from what I ate.
Thanks again.
P.S best 40.00 dollars I ever spent.

Hi Sherry,
I will not go into a lot of details. I have had digestion problems for many years, to the point that I had to have a portion of my intestines removed several years ago.
As time went on I had bouts of constipation and diarrhea. When I told the doctors my symptoms, they advised me to take Imodium. I was not given any advice from my doctors regarding nutrition.
About two years ago I self diagnosed myself and knew that I had IBS. I was not told that by a doctor, but after reading about it I knew that was what my problem was, as I had all the symptoms. I told my doctor what I thought I had. It got so bad I was hesitant to even leave the house. One day while researching IBS, I happened to come upon your web site and ordered your Great Taste No Pain plan. It has made a world of difference. I cannot tell you what a relief it has been to know I can leave my house now and not have to worry about dashing to a bathroom before having an accident. I thank you for your years of research that has helped so many of us with this very painful and embarrassing problem.
I have shared my story with others and even bought the program for a friend who is having problems.
Thank you again,
Janet
Hi Sherry,
I must admit that I was skeptical about trying your "Great Taste No Pain" method of eating. I have had IBS for 30 years and have tried the following: prescription medications, various cleansing powders, cleansing teas, and yogurts. Nothing seemed to work. I began to dread eating, because I knew that in a few hours I would be in pain. I have always eaten healthy and exercised but obviously have eaten the wrong combinations.
I have been eating your way and your recipes for one week now and feel fantastic. No pain, no constipation, and no acid reflux, and I actually look forward to eating.
Finally something that truly works.
Thanks,
Diane
Hello Sherry,
I cannot believe how well your EASY Great Taste No Pain plan works. I was diagnosed a few years ago with Celiac Sprue disease and a hiatal hernia. I suffered from acid reflux, constipation and being overweight for years! Although I immediately started eating gluten free, and dropped all the weight, I still had issues with acid reflux and the doctor told me my hiatal hernia would never go away. Thus, they started me on the purple pill Nexium and later with Boniva. Nexium worked wonders as a band aid, but needless to say both are quite costly. This year we got new insurance and I was told they would not cover my Nexium. I got very frustrated and went on line looking up all the side effects of taking Nexium and Boniva long term and was astonished to find that the Nexium probably helped the need for the Boniva not to mention other long term use nasty side effects!
However, wanting to go off the meds, I was still frustrated about what to do about my acid reflux and hiatal hernia. Then I found your website. I immediately ordered your plan. I have been eating your way for three weeks now and have never once encountered acid reflux, even from day one. I also have more energy. Thank you so much for your research and sharing it with the world. I have since introduced three of my friends to your program. If I can do it along with still having to eat gluten free, anyone can do it.
Regards,
Kathy
Hi Sherry,
I started following your easy Great Taste No Pain program and it is amazing how good I feel now. Previously I went 3 days without going at all. Then I would take about 25
minutes to clear out my system and felt exhausted afterwards. My metabolism
was always sluggish although amazing enough I was not in much pain.
I went to my doctor numerous times and was just told to take fiber and eat
more fresh fruit and vegetables and I would be fine. THIS DOES NOT WORK,
Getting completely annoyed with the medical profession I turned to the Internet
for an answer and thank goodness I found your site.
Thanks again I enjoy getting your e-mails.
Luci
Dear Sherry,
In the first four days, I lost 3 pounds and after a couple of weeks I have lost a total of 7 pounds. Of course, that was not my purpose in ordering your plan.
Before going on your plan, I did not have any stomach pain, although I had some slight digestive problems and had started having constipation, which I had not had for a long time. Your plan has provided much help in that regard. I have seen some changes in my digestion and the constipation has ceased.
I have shared your website with others and my friend is reaping great benefits from the four-day plan. She is excited about it.
I appreciate your emails. It is an encouragement to me.
