I am 64 years old. I have had IBS for over 15 years now and I have tried many different remedies. Most work for a few days then I was right back to having cramps, bloating, gas and going to the bathroom every half hour and also the feeling that you have to go to the bathroom all the time.
I have been on your Great Taste No Pain plan for about 4 weeks now. I am not bloated nor do I have any cramps and most of the time I am gas free. I don't feel like I have to go to the bathroom anymore. I never ate many vegetables before and hardy any lettuce because it really upset my IBS. Now I am eating vegetables and salads and I have no problem with the IBS. I even eat cabbage now and before that would have giving me real bad diarrhea. So just wanted to say Thank You Sherry, I am feeling much better and for a bonus I have loss 6 pounds. I have been trying to lose weight now for some time but couldn't and now I am not even trying and I lost 6 pounds.

I had a problem with diarrhea for years. It made me not want to dine out with my friends because I never knew when the big D would occur. I had spoken to my doctor about it on several occasions and had essentially been told that it was just a fact of life for some people and had been given different prescriptions that didn't work.
Thankfully I saw Sherry on the internet. I have been following the Great Taste No Pain plan for a month and have dropped 12 pounds and feel great. I can dine out without dread and find restaurants do not mind accommodating my request for substitutions to provide me with good choices.
THANK YOU SHERRY!!!!

Dear Sherry,
After 20 years of having irritable bowel syndrome I have always had a feeling it was due to how I ate. After following your Great Taste No Pain program I have finally been able to stop taking anti diarrhea tablets and anti spasmodic stomach cramp tablets. There are still some foods that don’t agree with me like chili ect.
I am so happy that finally with the proper diet combination I am finally free of IBS.
Now after 20 years of diarrhea I can finally go out to a restaurant with my family and not have to be close to a toilet. All because of the correct food combinations.
Thank you Sherry, you have made my life more pleasurable.

Dear Sherry,
A few years ago I noticed a pain in my lower right abdomen and went to my doctor about it. While there, I told him my bowel habits had changed since my first colonoscopy at age 52, and that presently they were even stranger. He sent me for a battery of tests which I was grateful to have but they were very costly and had I not had insurance, the bills would still be coming in the mail now, four years later. As my symptoms continued, I became more concerned so went back to the doctor who sent me to a surgeon who suggested having my gall bladder out because that was on the right side of my body in the area where the pain was. I then spoke with my primary who disagreed. He said he thought I had IBS and put me on an anti-spasmodic. Truthfully, for 3 years I had little or no pain.
I hardly ever took the medicine. My bowel habits remained different from the norm and until a stressful period in my life last year they came back, about 25% worse and off I went again for the CT scan, ultrasound, barium swallow, and another internal exam by my gynecologist. This time I was without insurance and the tests ran me over $3000 dollars. Same thing, inconclusive, at least it wasn't cancer! Last month, out of the blue, everything changed into a chronic condition where I was in pain day and night,
constipated, diarrhea, fatigue, and afraid to eat a thing. Thanksgiving day I sat in front of that plate of food in terror!
I found your website just before the holidays and had ordered your "Great Taste No Pain" plan. It was there when I returned from the Holiday. I was panicked because I am travelling out of the country with my husband and his job for three months and I DID NOT want to stay home and let the doctors cut me open to remove organs think I should keep. I wanted to be with my spouse and enjoy my life on the road that we share. I want to thank you for being such a detective in your own life Sherry. A detective and an incredible researcher as well! I am managing my food well with your amazing and easy to follow book. I've been proactive now for three weeks with it and am almost 100% myself.
I realize that each meal I was having over the years was a mis-combination. It's actually quite amazing how long the stomach can be abused before it starts to affect your health but once the symptoms start, life as you know it becomes paralyzed. I am secure once again living a healthier pain free life but mindful and educated on how to avoid having to take pills, antacids and doctor's advice as my only options.
Thank You so much. All that pain. Panic and worry seems of just a few weeks back seems as if it were only a bad dream

I am such a skeptic when it comes to my digestive system. I am a believer now! I did try your Great Taste No Pain plan and I could not believe what I could eat and not have any of the discomfort (GERD, gas, bloating, cramps and unbelievable diarrhea). I have told so many people about this plan and even gave the information to my internist at my
appointment. She's going to research the info and because she is such an advocate for good health without medications if at all possible, I'm sure she will pass the information on to the rest of her patients.
Thank you so much. My life was going into the ""can't do anything away from my bathroom phase."" Well, that's not going to be the case now. I am such an active person that becoming a recluse in my own home was not an option. Freedom is a blessing now.

Hi Sherry,
I am on my 7th day of using your Great Taste No Pain plan and feel fantastic. I have endured diarrhea on a daily basis since childhood, along with every allergy under the sun, I am now 65years young.
As you can imagine I have over those years tried every drug and procedure known. It has ruled my life as I can, oops!! Could only go to places where I knew there were toilets close by as my bowels would move within seconds of crippling cramps, often several times a day. I have used Probiotics and Digestive enzymes on and off over the years but, now realize I never used them for long enough. Now that I am on your Great Taste No Pain plan they are now part of my daily schedule.
Now that I am on your plan I recently spent a whole day at a near by mall without one bathroom stop all day. Normally I would have had at least three visits during that time. My husband loves to travel and we usually cruise so my loo goes with me and no trips ashore for me. I have been diarrhea free for seven days running, cramp and nausea and headache and flatulence free and with my blood sugars in normal range. I'm an insulin using diabetic.
How do I say Thank you? And if all that wasn't enough my stomach appears to have deflated too, and will weigh in tomorrow to see what my next wonderful surprise is as just know I've lost weight, and boy have I tried diets over the years.
Thanks so much Sherry and I love your method of food combining and what it has done for me.
Love and light always,
Vickie
I have been on your Great Taste No Pain plan for four days. I am already feeling much better. My diarrhea is all but gone, no stomach pain, no morning headaches and sleeping great now.
Thanks,

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
Hi Sherry,
My name is Mick Elrod and I have Crohn's Disease. I had a perforated bowel
in Aug. of 2008 and had 8 inches of my intestines removed due to the
Crohn's.
Ever since the operation and hospital stay (15 days), I have had all kinds
of intestinal pain.
I ranged from constipation to diarrhea, along with bloating and gas. So I
was basically miserable from Aug. 2008 until Nov.5 2009. I couldn't go out
to eat or for that matter eat at home without fear of having an
""accident"" during the meal.
A few weeks ago I ordered the complete Great Taste No Pain package. What a bargain! After spending as much as $420 per month on medication that didn't work, I was
very pleased to find something that actually relieved my pain and embarrassment at a reasonable price.
My life changed dramatically! After the first day of the meals, I was feeling
better. For the past three weeks I have had no pain, gas, constipation, or
diarrhea. For the first time in over 15 months, I don't have war going on
in my intestines.
Oh, by the way, I have lost 5 pounds in the last 3 weeks.
I can't thank you enough for giving me my life back!
Warmly,
Mick Elrod
